Hey everyone. I'm a total newbie to coding smart contracts. I must say i'm facisnated and can't stop.
I am currently stuck on trying to add a time lock to y current contract. I keep getting errors on new pragma solidity versions - even though Im running the same versions.
Also, can I deploy a simple smart contract and deploy separate Timelock contracts with wallet address that will automatically lock up the tokens for the allocated time frame. For example. I would send 1 million tokens to an address and that specific address already has a lock on it which would only release tokens after the 12 months is up.
I'm trying to avoid adding too many functions to my smart contract.
When you deploy the contract SimpleTimelock, it will ask you to pass two parameters:
_beneficiary,
_releaseTime
So I think at the constructor , you can pass the release time.
And as for January 1st 2023, you should change it to the timestamp, but it should be counted in seconds.
No, absolutely not. You are not supposed to change the code! You have to deploy the code as-is and use the constructor parameters.
I’m sorry, but you need to do some serious learning before deploying a contract that will deal with real money. You will be putting your or other people’s funds at risk.
I’m trying to add beneficiary as msg.sender (me) is that ok ?

When you write constructor arguments you need to give it actual values. msg.sender is like a variable in the Solidity context, it’s not a value itself. So you need to pass in the actual address. In Remix you can copy the address of the current account using the copy icon next to the Account dropdown.
Like I said before, you shouldn’t modify the source code like you’re doing in this screenshot. This is a matter of security. The code that we provide should not be modified.
Paste this in Remix and set the parameters in the Deploy text input field like I showed in my screenshot. Use whatever addresses you want. I just used the same address because I was in a hurry.
Amazing - It worked - Thanks so much. Appreciate it.
I was trying to deploy the wrong contract. Remix doesn’t automatically default to the contract you’re working on, so I had to select from the drop down menu Timelock.sol then the contstructor options appeared prior to deployment.
One more Question though… It’s not allowing me to set release time for anything under 100000000000 - it just says error gas fee. I’ve tried on regular blockchain as I thought it might be to do with the block.timestamp. I get this error.
So, I keep getting this error message when i try to deploy to JSVM in remix.
