Topic: [ANN][ARG] Argentum || A New Begining || UPDATE YOUR WALLET || - page 15. (Read 59634 times)

My client is also getting stuck constantly. I think the problem is something to do with the scrypt code:


crazy diff......

I've received the same errors, but keep restarting the client with -reindex. After several of those, I've now gotten up to block 2392566. When it gets stuck, I just do another -reindex.

Yesterday I had two clients with blocks and headers synced to 2390214. I created a scrypt and sha pool. When I found a sha block, it found a chain further along in block height started syncing with it. The same thing happened with the scrypt pool. After they synced, I continued mining and my windows client found the chain and synced up as well.

Here's the problem. Eventually I received this error on every client synced with the chain, and my windows client produced it's own error as well. This crashed every one of my clients that was synced with the blockchain at the time, mining or not.

:~/.argentum$ argentumd: main.cpp:4223: void ProcessGetData(CNode*): Assertion `!"cannot load block from disk"' failed

Debug.log

ERROR: CheckProofOfWork(): hash doesn't match nBits
2017-05-09 11:42:22 ERROR: CheckAuxPowProofOfWork : non-AUX proof of work failed
2017-05-09 11:42:22 ERROR: ReadBlockFromDisk: Errors in block header at CBlockDiskPos(nFile=5, nPos=122908179)

What I can't figure out is why it won't just reject the bad block and move on, like its supposed to do. It appears that its first writing the bad block to the blockchain then rejecting it, which corrupts your local copy of the blockchain until a reindex is done where it will finally discard the bad block as its supposed to. Until a reindex is done, i get the Assertion which crashed every client connected and synced with it.

Mine is stuck at 2385249 with 7-9 nodes, going no further. 

Hmm, I guess I'll have to wait then.

My sha256 node's debug.log is filled with this

2017-05-07 03:25:55 ERROR: CheckProofOfWork(): hash doesn't match nBits

2017-05-07 03:25:55 ERROR: CheckProofOfWork(): hash doesn't match nBits

My scrypt node at the exact same height shows no errors.

I am having the same issue with the bootstrap only indexing to 2,388,214. Once we fix the sha256 client errors, we can just continue the blockchain from there.

I attempted again with the following steps:
1. Moved all the files/folders in the blocks folder to a folder called old.bad
2. Moved all the files/folders in the chainstate folder to a folder called old.bad
3. Moved .lock, bootstrap.dat.old, and debug.log to a folder called old.bad
4. Downloaded a fresh copy of bootstrap.dat
5. Restarted v3.11.3.1-72cf1f3 with -reindex

Once again, the bootstrap.dat import failed after block 2,388,213:

Actually I'm pretty sure the bootstrap didn't import fine. I'm stuck at the same block after bootstrap, and reviewing my debug log I found this:


So, it looks like the bootstrap failed after block 2,388,213.

One of the nodes has progressed, but is still not fully synced.

Blocks: 2,390,231
Headers: 2,392,171

From debug.log
MapBlockIndex.size() = 2,398,140

So somebody is mining. I don't know why the blocks aren't being relayed.

Thank you protonn and aatheus for providing the bootstrap.  I really appreciate it!

The bootstrap imported just fine, but the wallet still will not sync despite 18 network connections (10 out / 8 in) and only being 8 days behind.

The wallet gets stuck at block 2,388,213 (which interestingly is about 2000 blocks behind the bootstrap block indicated by protonn).  Debug log is more of the same, just a bunch of dropped connections.  Total network traffic after one hour is only about 50KB in and out, so it's not even trying I don't think.  I did a reindex just for kicks, but it did not help.

Sorry I can't be more helpful in figuring this out. Let me know if I can provide any more info.

I compressed the file and uploaded it to my web server. Please feel free to download and use it. File size is ~ 707MB - sha256 sum 9c79237869d2d6be897dabad394d3c28fb9099f87a153a0872075c118511f671

Thanks! The file is downloading now. I'll give it a try. Would it be possible to get this new link added to the README.md on https://github.com/argentumproject/argentum/ ?

Are any seed nodes, or any other v3 nodes, actually alive? I am seeing lots of connection refused/no route to host errors. Is anyone making a bootstrap.zip file available? argcurrency.org is long gone.

After the recent issue I decided to do a full re-download of the blockchain, but the new client v3.11.3.1-72cf1f3 will not seem to download from peers.  I have anywhere from 8-16 active connections, both outgoing and incoming, with up-to-date protocol and client versions, but no blocks will download.  I've tried the Windows QT client and building from source on Ubuntu, and both exhibit the same behavior.

The debug.log is not much help, but here's an excerpt.


Can anyone shed any light on this? Is there a bootstrap somewhere that might get me rolling?  Thank you.

 I was mining earlier for a while but my sha and scrypt kept crashing. I'm looking into it but could really use some help narrowing it down due personal time constraints.

17-04-28 19:27:29 ERROR: CheckProofOfWork(): hash doesn't match nBits
2017-04-28 19:27:29 ERROR: CheckAuxPowProofOfWork : non-AUX proof of work failed
2017-04-28 19:27:29 ERROR: ReadBlockFromDisk: Errors in block header at CBlockDiskPos(nFile=5, nPos=122908179)

In the case above, the client should simply reject the block and move on, but it seems like enough of this will crash the client.

Here's an error from another daemon. This came up as an echo, the debug.log shows the same output as above
argentumd: main.cpp:4221: void ProcessGetData(CNode*): Assertion `!"cannot load block from disk"' failed.

This leads back to readblockfromdisk i believe (I'm away from the code right now)

sha256 works now ( block 2.390.171 at the moment ), but scrypt crashes again on getblocktemplate!

Since updating my node to the latest source it is "Activating best chain..." since more than 2 days:


I hope it will eventually finish this process.

More nodes

Once everyone updates, and the nodes sync back up with each other, everything will stabilize. Nodes that are reindexing will not be available to serve blocks.
