Title: Help configuring Bitcoin node (Windows)
Post by: Green_goblin on September 17, 2019, 06:08:21 PM
Hi guys,

I have a node running since December 2018 with no problem.

However I am having problems during these recent days, when I try to launch the node I get this error:

Code:
MinGW Runtime Assertion
---------------------------
Assertion failed!
Program: C:\Program Files\Bitcoin\bitcoin-qt.exe
File: scheduler.cpp, Line 19
Expression: nThreadsServicingQueue == 0

I only see this error when txindex=1, if is set to 0 I don't get the error.

Suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

You should use reindex after setting the txindex to 1. Add -reindex to your startup parameters. It should do the trick. Note that reindexing might take a lot of time depending on your setup. You can speed it up by increasing the database cache (-dbcache [Number in MB].

Mmm interesting. How many MB do you recommend me to increase the speed?
I have 12 GB of RAM.

Half the size of your RAM - so in this case 6GB - should be good.

If you don't intend to use your computer for other stuff while syncing, 8GB should be fine too.

Ok thanks, I'll try that.
