Help with my sync #4084

Open dinhanhuy opened 6 years ago

dinhanhuy commented 6 years ago

PLease help me, how can i use eth wallet? it always show this hd

jfgreen01 commented 6 years ago

yep, even with new client the connection is very inconsistent; sometimes find peers and others does. New client supposedly a hot fix for crashing does not work; client still always crashes upon launch.

it's a absolute joke what they are doing on this client. I tried downgrading to eth client 10.0 and it gives me connections but it's very inconsistent; some days it works for others it does not. Same with the latest Client 11.1.1; Sometimes finds connections and some days just does not want to connect. Is this the future of ethereum? Any other client such as bitcoin, any qt-wallet, except ethereum wallet is more consistent with finding peer connections.

Same issue here. 2 hours since last block and stuck on connecting. Tried running geth --light still gets stuck.

jfgreen01 commented 6 years ago

It's sad I am coming back here and try to help instead of the dev team.

If two hours it's not going to connect; Are you running the latest version? I had success in the passed few days; your chainstate data is probably corrupt as you were going back and forth trying to sync blocks multiple / various ways.

Delete your geth/chaindata/ and geth/lightchaindata - these can be found under folder users/yourprofile/appdata/roaming/ethereum/geth/

try to run again latest version.

cryptojunky commented 6 years ago

I tried that and deleting all but keystore files. It syncs one or two blocks than doesn't sync for hours. Going to try rolling back a version. Thanks anyway.

cryptojunky commented 6 years ago

I went back to 0.9.3 which worked. I start geth first using cmd promt and geth --light. Than open ethereum. works fine that way.

jfgreen01 commented 6 years ago

did you try 10.0.0? I wouldn't go back too far as there could be security and or vulnerabilities in the software; or if you really need to make a transaction the dev team told us to use MEW HAHHA.

cryptojunky commented 6 years ago

No. I went back to 0.9.3 because it was the last working version I can remember. These updates have been hit and miss.

jesobreira commented 6 years ago

Was having the same issue. Full of E_TIMEDOUT on the logs. Got it working by installing Geth manually (instructs for Ubuntu).

Same, new version since 0.10.0 doesn't sync, old version 0.9.2 syncs just fine.

Latest ones only seem to connect to a few peers then it says 'Remote' instead of a number, shows a block count and a clock that ticks upwards. The block count increases. The download progress bar is never displayed.

With 0.9.2 the download progress bar appears after about 10-20 seconds.
