Feature request - Disable dashboard in IBD phase

Darth-Coin commented 3 years ago

Guys, many noobs starting with Umbrel node are doing crazy stuff exactly when they should just stay calm and wait for IBD. I saw many users trying to do various stuff in IBD and also getting panicked and restarting the node, messing around the whole data. I suggest this feature:

disable access to dashboard in IBD phase
put just a percentage of syncing blocks
add a message to BE PATIENT, all is going to be fine, don't panic :)
meanwhile read the "getting started" instructions from info.umbrel.tech
if something is really getting wrong (machine get stuck, disk disconnected etc), then yes, put a message or instructions what to do next. In this way, users will be more comfortable and know what to do.

Yes and also add a progress for indexing the blocks after synching. I wait since 4 days for the end of indexing. txindex at 584006 basic block filter index at 622141

@pjw65 What hardware are you using, do you have apps installed?

pjw65 commented 3 years ago

@AaronDewes ASUSTeK P7P55 LX i7 CPU 860 @ 2.80GHz (8 processors, 4 actual cores) 16 GB DDR3 RAM (4x 4 GB DDR3-1333) LACIE Porsche Design Desktop Drive P9233 5TB / USB Ubuntu 20.04 Mate

Ride The Lightning is installed

Update: My PC has only USB 2.0 - writing and reading from the external device is really slow I changed the device to another PC with USB 3.0 and after 8h the index was finished.
