3 years ago Hi,
Syncing issues seem to have been fixed for me with release 1.1.6 (so far, just installed it). I suggest that if both your full node and wallet are not syncing, try to uninstall everything (again).
- Make sure you have the 24 word key you used, so you can use to import it again later.
- If you do have you node synced to a certain height, you could try to make a backup of ' C:\Users\felix.chia\mainnet\db\blockchain_v1_mainnet.sqlite ' This can save you same time syncing again. However, if you are not synced at all (Peak height = 0 or very low compared to where the blockchain is at now), don't bother with backing that up. You could place the backup at same location after reinstalling (make sure chia is not running at same time).
- Same thing applies regarding your wallet: C:\Users\felix.chia\mainnet\wallet\db\blockchain_wallet_v1mainnet.sqlite ( is a unique number), you could either try to save time to try and continue at height it stopped before, or start syncing all over.
- Also make sure you are using the same and correct timezone (for example europe/city etc) on your PC and router and that the time is correctly synchronized
To uninstall: Make sure you stopped all the proceses completely:
- stop chia by closing the window
- reboot pc (to make sure all background processes are completely stopped)
- uninstall ' chia blockchain' through programs and features in windows control panel Check for leftover folders and delete (or rename) them:
- C:\Users\felix.chia
- C:\Users\felix\AppData\Local\chia-blockchain
- C:\Users\felix\AppData\Roaming\Chia Blockchain
- Reboot PC again, just to be sure
To install: follow Wiki installation instructions
- Although Upnp can be used, better to check if port 8444 is open. If not open/port forward 8444 (see: https://github.com/Chia-Network/chia-blockchain/wiki/Resolving-Sync-Issues---Port-8444)
- Use latest release (1.1.6 as I am writing)
- Use the key you used earlier so you are using the same wallet and can use the plots you have created earlier to farm
- Look at full node: status should go from 'not synced' to syncing pretty fast now. Scroll down and you should see connections appearing automatically (there should be no need to manually connect to other peers)
- Go to wallet. Choose to either use backup file (for coloured coins) or skip. In my experience, the wallet will not start syncing right away. It can take up to 15 minutes or so untill it starts syncing
- If Full Node is completely synced and you have added you plot directories containing your finished plots, farming should start automatically. As long as full node is not synced, farming will not occur. However, the wallet does not need to be fully synced to be farming, but of course you will not be able to see any balance you may have, untill the wallet is synced to a certain height.
If syncing still does not work, try to analyse further: start to learn how to use the debug logs (change log level to INFO) and how to interpret them (I am still learning myself). It could be network related, firewalll related etc, hard to tell. Also, if possible, try and use a cabled connection instead of WiFi always!
I hope this helps you further.

Describe the bug Every now and then my wallet goes out of sync and farming stops. It says Connected and Syncing, but it does not Sync. Plotting however works, but i am not able to farm. I have the error message in my developer tools DevTools failed to load SourceMap: Could not parse content for file:///C:/Users/felix/AppData/Local/chia-blockchain/app-1.1.6/resources/app.asar/build/renderer/js/80.js.map: Unexpected end of JSON input. Even uninstalling, deleting the folders and installing it again does not help.

Expected behavior I expect the wallet to sync and farm Screenshots If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.
