DERO blockchain sync problem

Blockchain sync has been fixed in updates, pls update your software before trying following steps.
Github
Download Blockchain for fast sync
unzip derod_database.db.zip in mainnet folder


After 8 March 2018 you should not be reading this thread for fork issues but just for history.

Incase still DERO blockchain data not syncing.
1] Stop daemon and delete p2pstate.bin file in dero blockchain data folder and restart daemon.
2] Use status command to check daemon.
3] If still not syncing delete dero blockchain data folder and restart daemon.
Windows users can find dero-chain-data folder in their user folder or C:\ProgramData\dero\lmdb. Linux users search for .dero in home folder.

Else for faster sync and if nothing works above due to like low power cpu, net problems:
Stop daemon first, download chain data from http://seeds.dero.io/data.mdb and restart daemon:
Replace data.mdb in .dero/lmdb/ folder Or corresponding folder in windows user.

PLS NOTE : For Pool operators and big solo miners:
Start daemon with following option to add priority seeds to get sync faster with low latency network:
Windows:
derod.exe --add-exclusive-node 89.38.96.169:18090 --add-exclusive-node 89.38.97.110:18090 --add-exclusive-node 212.8.242.60:18090

Linux:
./derod --add-exclusive-node 89.38.96.169:18090 --add-exclusive-node 89.38.97.110:18090 --add-exclusive-node 212.8.242.60:18090

I tried delete the chaindata file on my pc but still got issue with synchronizing data. Sync issue also happened with options adding several priority nodes . It stop at block 16988 or so every method I tried.
Any reason for that?

Thank you.

Blockchain sync issues have been fixed in new updates.

i foolow all of this, include remove db from program data, when i put db from your page, daemon wont start. I try few times, with and without admin rights, the daemon is always few hundreds block behind…

and the wallet is always show 0.000000 balance, please help :wink:

Stop daemon and delete p2pstate.bin file in dero blockchain data folder and restart daemon.
For balance update see : DERO wallet balance update

The same thing…xcept the p2pstate.bin not create in dero folder…

The daemon says…

stop derod.exe daemon and Look for p2pstate.bin in C:\ProgramData\dero\ folder or your user home dir and delete it.
Start derod.exe .

That exactly what i am do…and no sync, maybe on next release…:wink:

Can you pls elaborate your OS, NW, Firewall etc.
OR
Come over to slack for realtime support.

No problem… it is win 10, the block always go to the some number a few hundred blocks from last block. In version before thay stop on 17xxx, the highest block in that case has been 20xxx. I download version 11, and the things is same, after that i delete complete folder dero in Programdata, and run new version and they reach 20256, in that time block was 20578. The new version is back to me that realtime block is increasing but not sync in daemon. I add dero in firewall for tcp and udp in inbound and outbound rules, i manualy stop firewall daemon just to check…same things.

This is log of derodaemon, start when i typing…

I cant find the dero blockchain data folder…

edit: Ok i found p2pstate deleted and i get the same thing

Windows users can find dero-chain-data folder in their user folder or C:\ProgramData\dero\lmdb. Linux users search for ~/.dero/lmdb/ in home folder.

Also you can search for file data.mdb in your drive, it should be in lmdb folder. Replace it with http://seeds.dero.io/data.mdb

Fixed. I deleted the blockchain folder and re-sync. Thanks !!!

Pls update your daemon https://github.com/deroproject/dero

Download linux pre-compiled daemon from https://github.com/deroproject/dero/releases/download/v0.11.5/derod_linux_amd64_v5.tar.xz

Run you daemon with following option atm:
derod --add-exclusive-node 89.38.97.110:18090
Windows pre-compiled binary will be updated in next few hrs.

Follow twitter for updates.
https://twitter.com/DeroProject

and for windows? i took the daemon from the “March 3 fix” posted by Serena but the daemon get stuck here :

i delete the p2pstate and data 2x times but still the same. Thank you

Hello Lez,

I’m sorry that the daemon is causing you troubles. The Windows pre-compiled binary will be available very shortly which should help resolve this problem.

If you’re able to hold tight for just a little longer until the Windows version is available it should help clear up some of the errors you’re seeing.

I’ll stick with you until we get this sorted out :slight_smile:

Regards,
Serena

Ok np, im not in a hurry just saying :slight_smile: and thank you for your answer
