node all up to date. but stuck at block 8200
how to fix this someone please?
There is a problem, I'm looking at that. It get stuck at 8200, 8700 and I'm quite sure it will stuck at 9200 also. Will be fixed in a few days. I assume the initial block download cannot handle correctly situation where there is no PoW blocks, only PoS. When initially downloading, it asks for 500 blocks at a time. For some reason it does not make the second queryif there is only PoS blocks. That's my best guess currently.
And if someone else wants to contribute, just go for it, fix it and make a pull request! Source is open :-)
Meanwhile, restarting helps. I'm sorry for that.
don't apologise, your efforts are appreciated, even if I seem a tad antagonised by it, at times.
I restarted and it stuck at 8700, so restarted again and the node is now up to date (bear with me, this is the first time i've done anything like this)
so, all good and the node i've set up is working fine
once we hit 9200, i'll go back in and make sure it gets restarted again.
