RE: stuck in Gridcoin 3.5.8.7? inofficial snapshot file available

in #gridcoin • 9 years ago (edited)

Thanks, I'm attempting this now. Based on the speed so far, I'm guessing it'll take about 4-5 hours before I know whether it has worked.

edit: The speed feels identical to rebuilding the blockchain from zero, so I'm doubting that I did this correctly. I followed the instructions above and restarted the wallet with only the wallet.dat, conf file, wallet backups, and the extracted snapshot. Shouldn't this be going faster?

edit2: failed at 854443

    Hi, did you removed or renamed the old folders and the blk0001.dat file? I sugggest you rename the old txleveldb folder to txleveldb.old and also rename the database folder to database.old. Same with the blk0001.dat, rename that to blk0001.dat.old, just in case. Then, extract the snapshot to the GridcoinResearch directory. You should be on block 855xxx+ and above. If you start at 854443 the snapshot was not applied correctly.

    EDIT: I messed up, see: https://github.com/gridcoin/Gridcoin-Research/issues/254#issuecomment-290553334
