[Ethereum] Error from sendSignedTransaction: Error: Returned error: replacement transaction underpriced

contract-deploymentgo-ethereummistsolidity

I am the beginner in Ethereum stuff need guidance please help
I am running a private ethereum network and using mist wallet
here is my contract code

pragma solidity ^0.4.0;

contract MyFirstContract {
    uint256 counter =0;

    function increase() public {
        counter++;
    }

    function  decrease() public{
        counter--;
    }

    function getCounter() public constant  returns (uint256) {
        return counter;
    }
}

the counter value was not changing when I press execute increment or decrement function counter value was not changing after many tries i got these error message
I am getting the error message "Error from sendSignedTransaction: Error: Returned error: replacement transaction underpriced"after some researching I found out this answer
error: replacement transaction underpriced
I have one pending transaction

web3.eth.pendingTransactions();

[{
    blockHash: null,
    blockNumber: null,
    from: "0x4f7f384236f79a5e3322e33cc7bb2ccd5143a87c",

    nonce: 10,
    r: "0x34fa67311a0a29d31139a425c2ab120033d4ab34a6d1a860d6c806f95412f7af",

    to: null,
    transactionIndex: 0,
    v: "0x1b",
    value: 0
}]

so I increased the nounce
web3.eth.getTransactionCount("0x4f7f384236f79a5e3322e33cc7bb2ccd5143a87c")+1;
11

after then I again try to exceute the transaction but again getting these messages

Nonces are 0 indexed, transactions are indexed from 1. This post here mentions:

Apparently there's a nuance with the nonce... my error was I was setting the nonce to web3.eth.getTransactionCount() + 1, which left a gap between prior transaction nonce and next transaction nonce (nonces are 0 indexed, transactions are indexed from 1, that's the root of the error). It so appears that you are not allowed to increment the nonce by 2 and leave a gap. Must be sequential.

Requested instructions: You need to find out the nonce value of the first transaction you fire. 

var firstNonce = web3.eth.getTransactionCount(yourSender);.

The post I linked above and here shows how to set nonce manually(and a common error, that getTransactionCount already returns a value one higher than the nonce and was the reason for my answer)
