I have installed bitcoin core (23.0) on a virtual machine (Debian GNU/Linux 10, x86_64) and tried to start the testnet initial block download. Unfortunately,a few days ago blockchain sync is stuck on a particular block 4032 and constantly reports following lines
2022-08-03T18:58:26Z Synchronizing blockheaders, height: 2262031 (~99.69%) 2022-08-03T18:58:26Z Peer=6 is stalling block download, disconnecting 2022-08-03T18:58:26Z Synchronizing blockheaders, height: 2264031 (~99.69%) 2022-08-03T18:58:32Z New outbound peer connected: version: 70015, blocks=2314713, peer=16 (outbound-full-relay)
This problem is not present on mainnet and my bitcoin.conf
currently looks simply this way
testnet=1 prune=550
What I’ve already tried:
- Run
bitcoind
with-maxconnections=1
- Run
bitcoind
with-reindex
- Tried different configurations of
bitcoin.conf
- Delete
.bitcoin
data directory and restartbitcoind
invalidate block
all steps were unsuccessful :'(
I am ready to provide further information and would appreciate if someone could help with this issue! Also, I am quite a newbie, so I could be missing something obvious.
