Cant Sync, it never did

Schlittschuh · May 15, 2021, 7:33pm

Hey guys,

first of all i want to prewarn you to my bad english. Even though i hope you can understand and help me

Since chia had download the blockdatabase, my Chia or Wallet arent syncing. It tells me “not synced”

I started with version 1.1.4. After my Status changed from “xxxxxx/xxxxxx” (x=a number) to “Not Synced”, a newer version was released and i updated to version 1.1.5.
My Wallet and my Full Node isnt synced in that Version either. (status: not synced). I am connected with peers with incoming and outgoing Data usage (see uploaded picture).

I really dont know what to do anymore and i am really desperate

Here are some things i already tried:

upnp on Router is “OFF” (tried it ON too)
upnp in Chia-configfile:“FALSE” (LINE:[enable_upnp: false]) (tried it in standard value too)

changed the value from configfile: “target_outbound_peer_count: 50” (from “8” to “50”)

I did several plots.
I closed my software firewall for about an hour.
I opened port fowarding in my firewall setting on my router (as you can see on the image)
My Clock and the Chia-Blocks looks like they have the same time (as you can see on the screenshot)
I tried to start the software “as admin”

Restart my router…and computer

May there is a specific “Windows Service” that have to be running, because i turned several off?
Its strange to see more than one “full_node.exe” is running in my Task Manager (see uploaded picture)

Some of my latest debug log: > 2021-05-15T19:03:28.654 full_node chia.full_node.full_node: ERROR Consensus error 124, not disconnecting

I did a lot of internet research by myself but i cant find any information that can help me to sync. Since that, iam waiting for a new chia software update that fix syncing. Guys, i really hope you can help me

GREETINGS, yours Schlittschuh.

chia cersion 1.1.5
Specs:
Win 10 pro x64
8GB RAM
i7 (first generation)
SSD for plotting, HDD for saving plots
9MB/s internet line
and i live in Austria/Europe (maybe thats kind of important)

Why do you have upnp disabled in your config?

Schlittschuh · May 15, 2021, 8:01pm

because someone said it would help to sync Whats the standard value? “true”? i might give it a shot.

WolfGT · May 15, 2021, 8:05pm

LOL, no. UPNP is what responds to the port (8444) that you forwarded to that system. It has to be enabled for it to respond. I haven’t ever enabled/disabled it in the file. I have always ran the command to do it. But yes, it needs to be true. The only time you would want to disable it is if you have multiple full nodes on the same network. And in that situation, you would disable it on all of them except the main full node.

cultiv · May 15, 2021, 8:10pm

Just to be pedantic about this: uPNP requests for the specific port to be opened up, the router will reciprocate if uPNP is enabled there.

As such, of other machines on the network request the same, the router might just humor them. This is why you should only have one Chia instance on your network with uPNP enabled otherwise the port forwarding might constantly jump from machine to machine.

Schlittschuh · May 15, 2021, 8:13pm

okay. So i closed chia, set “true” as value to the line and restarted chia. now i am going to wait about an hour. after that i ll tell you if somehting happen or not.
But probably it wont sync, because i already tried it with standard value.

certainly i remember now: i changed some things after i disabled it

Schlittschuh · May 15, 2021, 8:14pm

Thanks for your reply! I only run one Chia instance in my network. And by the way, i disabled upnp in my router, too.

cashcat · May 15, 2021, 8:29pm

syncing issues for three days now. everywhere. no sync, no farm. i blame the devs for not releasing any information about obvious network issues and let people waste their time with pointless repair attempts (deleting peerdb, open port 8444, disable upnp, restart app, adding nodes etc. etc) without any success, since the fault is not theirs at all… just a little hint like " current warning: global syncing issues because of xxx, please be patient, there is nothing wrong with your setup" would have been very helpful…

nismo · May 15, 2021, 9:15pm

I am not able to get synced for the last 2-3 days also. This software quality… It is like student work it was never working for 100% at least a day.

Schlittschuh · May 15, 2021, 9:23pm

about one 1 hour later and change upnp value to “true” i am still not able to sync (just for your information)

WolfGT · May 15, 2021, 10:26pm

What is your log saying during this last hour?

Quindor · May 16, 2021, 12:38am

For people not able to get a good Sync (I’ve been in sync forever really…) Put down your IPs or DNS names (if you want) and I (and hopefully some others here) will force connect to you (in GUI or “chia show -a ip.ip.ip.ip:8444”). That should help you along.

codinghorror · May 16, 2021, 12:42am

Once I forwarded port 8444 sync became very fast.

The only thing that takes a LONG time is getting the initial blockchain pulled down – or if you are very far behind in the blockchain for some reason.

Schlittschuh · May 16, 2021, 8:14am

Sorry i felt asleep. because it was already midnight here.
The entrys from 21:30 pm to midnight (my time zone) were:

Schlittschuh · May 16, 2021, 8:17am

Hy and thanks for your answere!
So, How do i manage to “put down my Ip Adress”? To be honest i really dont know what you are meaning by this. My router give me the Ip: 192.XX.XX.XXX Do you mean i should lower it to, e.g., 62.XX.XX.XX ?

Schlittschuh · May 16, 2021, 8:20am

Hy and thanks for your answere!
I already did port forwarding. I had to call my provider, because i had a ip6 protocoll. They set it to ip4.

Is there any option to check if my block showing in the GUI is the newest block?

Quindor · May 16, 2021, 12:08pm

Ah, that would be public IP of course so like https://whatismyip.com can help with that. But it will only work if you have port forwarding setup correctly in the first place.

casualChia · May 16, 2021, 12:16pm

How many full node connections do you have?

Quindor · May 16, 2021, 12:17pm

Just checked, about 60 or so?

bleeps · May 16, 2021, 12:37pm

@Schlittschuh When Quindor said “put down your IP address” they meant post your IP address here and we will direct connect as a peer. Your public IP address can be found by going to https://whatismyip.com.

The address that starts with 192 is your local network address and can’t be connected to from the outside. This local address is where your router should be forwarding connections on port 8444.
