I had no issues before, but my syncing has gotten incredibly slow with geth. My system time and date are good (set by ntp) so that shouldn't be the issue and my Internet connexion works fine.
It took 2 hours to get 2048 blocks. Even the highest block parameter is wrong! (as of now, etherchain.org reports that the highest block is 1953411) What gives?
I0725 18:40:30.199394 core/blockchain.go:972] imported 2048 block(s) (0 queued 0 ignored) including 13408 txs in 2h8m18.691083833s. #1888377 [6328a321 / 2ab5bd5c]
eth.syncing
{
currentBlock: 1889280,
highestBlock: 1947463,
knownStates: 0,
pulledStates: 0,
startingBlock: 1849273
}
Any idea on how to troubleshoot this, or avoid the issue?
EDIT: running with 1.5.0 seems to be the problem. Downgrading to 1.4.10 fixed the issue
Best Answer
You are on the non-forked chain.
From http://fork.ethstats.net/:
The non-forked chain (Ethereum Classic / ETC) does not have many clients or miners and you would therefore experience the slow syncing.
If you intend to be on the hard-forked chain, you will have to specify the
geth
option:If you want to fast sync, you will firstly have to remove your current chain:
The start the fast sync:
Also, you will need to be using
geth
v 1.4.10 or aboveYou can check which chain
geth
is configured to use by typing:See also:
