No need to fetch the block_log, it's pretty fast with just using p2p to sync. It should be syncing up right now, just might take a while(it took about a day for me on a pretty powerful machine). You can check the progress using ./run.sh logs Once it's counting the block numbers up by 1 each time, you can try running the local wallet.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
logs currently shows this, not sure if this is one block each time, doesn´t look like it
./run.sh wallet leads to this
Sorry for my ignorance and bothering you. I am not an IT-guy.
Hm, it looks like you might have had another instance of it running or something from the looks of it. It shut down right away. What's the results of
docker ps? Should help narrow down the issue. Worst case, you'll need to nuke yourdata/witness_node_data_dir/blockchainfolder and restart a sync after killing any remaining docker processes.docker ps gives nothing
Maybe best I start from scratch?
Nah, no need for that. Just wipe everything within the folder I said, you can move to it by doing
rm -rf data/witness_node_data_dir/blockchainthen just recreate that folder,mkdir data/witness_node_data_dir/blockchainand spin up the node again,./run.sh startand see if it's progressing on blocks,./run.sh logs.It is syncing!
From the blocknumbers it seems this will go on for a while, right?
Depends on your machine's specs. I've synced on 2 machines, one it took me about a day but it was a nice and powerful one, the other one, it took me under 2.5 days, but this was much weaker than the first one. It'll take some time for sure, but you can see how close to head it is. As it gets later on, it syncs slower since there's more activity in the blocks, but it honestly shouldn't take you too long. If you share your machine's specs, I can take a guess at it(but a ton of things come into play, and it looks like you are using a VM and there's some luck involved with how busy the other users on the node are as well).
The time is not the problem.
But I unfortunately switched off my computer and when I restarted it said Putty is inactive and I couldn´t restart, so I tried to start over, remove the file, remake it and run again, but it won´t do it :(
I am completely lost,
btw, I voted for hextech witness, the least I can do
