Synchronisation failed-Persiphone (v1.12.19) #619

Closed Iftikhar3Mustafa closed 3 months ago

Iftikhar3Mustafa commented 5 months ago

I upgraded the geth version from v1.12.18 to v1.12.19 today, and then it seems that the blocks cannot be synchronized normally. I'm a newbie and can't figure out where the problem is.

Please let me know if there is a solution for this. Thank you!

Iftikhar3Mustafa commented 5 months ago

Hi,

The Geth version v1.12.18 is working absolutely fine. However, I am facing synchronization issues with version v1.12.19. The process of looking for peers repeats continuously. I'm unsure of what's causing this issue. If there are any potential impacts due to this issue, please update me.

If I cannot update to the latest version, how will it impact my mining process? Please guide me as I am worried about it. Thanks. @meowsbits

ziogaschr commented 5 months ago

@Iftikhar3Mustafa thanks for the report. I will retry to reproduce it now.

This release has small changes that doesn't impact your mining process.

ziogaschr commented 5 months ago

It started syncing now for me (will wait for it to finish). I see a lot of TRACE[02-12|15:32:26.730] Failed p2p handshake id=*** addr=**** conn=dyndial err="too many peers" in the logs, which means that the nodes that are reachable in the network are still low. :(

Using the https://etcnodes.org/ portal and sorting on "Version" I've seen that clients haven't updated to "v1.12.19" yet which was going to help on having more publicly serving nodes in the network, so we have to wait.

What you report though, has to be examined, which is that v1.12.19 was having issues, while v1.12.18 worked. There is still the explanation, that v1.12.19 would have worked the same after a restart of the node, but it's better that we examine and be sure that this is the case.

Iftikhar3Mustafa commented 5 months ago

I need to confirm whether version 1.12.18 works fine for mining and if blocks will generate, or if it will impact the mining process. When you check out the issues with the new update, please guide me about it. I am waiting for it and using version 1.12.18 until the new release resolves the problem. Thanks.

ziogaschr commented 5 months ago

I will update you. I confirm that v1.12.18 is great for you to continue till we test.

Iftikhar3Mustafa commented 5 months ago

Great to hear that version 1.12.18 is working well for me! Feel free to update me once you've completed your testing. Thanks.

@Iftikhar3Mustafa

I am facing synchronization issues with version v1.12.19. The process of looking for peers repeats continuously.

How long have you waited for synchronization to start? Your logs span less than 2 minutes. I would give it at least 10 minutes before suspecting that anything is wrong.

All versions of core-geth that we release are intended to be OK for mining.

Iftikhar3Mustafa commented 5 months ago

Hello, the other version of Geth normally starts synchronization within 10 minutes and imports chain segments when a new release, v1.12.19, comes out on the website. I decided to upgrade from v1.12.18 to v1.12.19, but I am facing issues. This release has been causing synchronization failures for a long time. It continuously searches for peers, and the synchronization process repeats. Sometimes synchronization starts, but then the same process repeats. After waiting for seven to eight hours for synchronization with no results, I reverted to my previous release, v1.12.18, which I am currently using. I always upgrade my Geth blockchain when a new release is available on the ETC website.

meowsbits commented 5 months ago

One possible workaround for you might be to nuke the nodes datadir, and optionally the nodekey too:

rm -rf /<datadir>/geth/nodes
rm /<datadir>/geth/nodekey

This will cause your geth to rebuild the p2p database and might erase anything slowing you down.

Out of curiosity, and if you feel comfortable saying, which part of the world is your geth's internet connection starting from? Geophysical location could influence round trip times and your neighbor peer density.

Iftikhar3Mustafa commented 5 months ago

Sir, so if I remove the node and nodekey files from the Geth directory, and then start the new release v1.12.19, the issue of not being able to find peers might be resolved, and it should work for me. Okay, let's try it, and I'll update you. Thanks.

ziogaschr commented 3 months ago

@Iftikhar3Mustafa where your issues resolved? Can we close this issue?

Iftikhar3Mustafa commented 3 months ago

Hi, my problem was resolved as you instructed me in our previous conversations. Sorry for not updating you earlier. I am now closing this issue.

I also wanted to ask about the current problem with block generation on the pool side. It has been 23 days since the last block was generated. My current hashrate is 3.52, and I am wondering if the difficulty is high or if there are other issues causing this. Please guide me as I am worried about it. Thanks.

@Iftikhar3Mustafa Great to hear about the sync issues.

Can you please let us know if you mine directly or using a pool. What is the command you use to mine with geth (please hide you coinbase and anything else not needed)? I wonder if you leave the --miner.gaslimit to the default 30M (which is not advised for ETC) or you change this to the preferred 8M (https://github.com/etclabscore/core-geth/pull/620)

Iftikhar3Mustafa commented 3 months ago

I am using the pool to mine ETC blocks. I have spent 25 days, but no block has been generated. The latest blockchain is updated to v1.12.19 (Persiphone). On the pool side, the total hashrate is 3.53GH. Normally, a block is generated every two or five days, but I'm wondering what's going on, as it's taking too long without generating any block.

Hi sir,

Here are Details of Mining staus of my pool

Please refer to the attached screenshot of the Geth daemon's updated status on the AWS machine and the command used to run this Geth for mining:

geth --datadir "/media/ubuntu/EthereumClassic/.ethereumclassic" --classic --nousb --password "/media/ubuntu/EthereumClassic/.walletpass" --http.api "eth,web3,net,personal,db" --http --mine --allow-insecure-unlock --unlock 0

Which pool do you use? Do you what pool software it uses?

Iftikhar3Mustafa commented 3 months ago

I am using the Etchaah pool software, which was developed using the Clasito pool source code from GitHub.
