Pi node "latest block" question #244

My node often last more than 2 hour or longer. But I found that when click "reload" in the node app,it will change to "a few seconds ago" & last a few min minutes......and try again....

I wondering ask is it a design flaw or my setting was wrong?

This is the same on my end. One day I found my node hanging back a lot of blocks and I did a stop and restart of the node. I'm fine to provide log information here, if the CT in interessted in this. I've activated the API service. I'm fine to provide log files, if required.

Hi. You mention about running the API service. I just wondered what is the benefit of it? Just trying to find out more about it!

You would only really need the API service if you're building a Pi app/utility and need to test access to the blockchain locally. If you don't intend to do this, just leave the API service switched off. It will also save you a small amount of disk space if you leave it switched off.
