Is there a workaround

[ghost]

1. Would pool start when sync would be up to date ? Why core is busy

2. stratum authentication failed, where is the email set ?

   /monerod --version (build from sources today) Monero 'Helium Hydra' (v0.11.1.0-master-a529f0a) Then

Then

1. It reports Core is busy when moneod is getting the blockchain.
2. Just wait for your blockchain to finish downloading.
