Title: Re: Testnet chain download stuck Post by: Peter Todd on June 04, 2012, 03:57:37 AM Testnet was recently reset; try upgrading your client.
Title: Re: Testnet chain download stuck Post by: Diapolo on June 04, 2012, 09:19:11 AM I'm running on testnet, and chain download gets stuck at ~53546 blocks remaining ... Anyone knows why ? Which is the last block you have? It seems my client is stuck, too and has 6897 blocks. Edit: I'm seeing a few of these Quote 06/04/12 09:19:20 ERROR: CheckProofOfWork() : nBits below minimum work 06/04/12 09:19:20 ERROR: CheckBlock() : proof of work failed 06/04/12 09:19:20 ERROR: ProcessBlock() : CheckBlock FAILED Dia Title: Re: Testnet chain download stuck Post by: Gavin Andresen on June 04, 2012, 01:16:19 PM I just got stuck-- looks like somebody is serving up the testnet2 blockchain to testnet3 nodes that connect to them (that's what is causing the 'nBits below minimum work' message).
Re-running to connect to a real testnet3 node is getting me the correct blockchain (with 6,905 blocks). Title: Re: Testnet chain download stuck Post by: Diapolo on June 04, 2012, 02:02:18 PM Gavin, is there any way, to send the old nodes on testnet an alert message to upgrade?
Dia Title: Re: Testnet chain download stuck Post by: Gavin Andresen on June 04, 2012, 04:10:52 PM It quickly downloads the blockchain (about 6K blocks), then claims to be up to date, and then, 30 seconds later claims to be 50K+ blocks behind. Bitcoin-Qt ? Sounds like a bug in the "estimate how many blocks there are based on what your peers tell you" bug. Title: Re: Testnet chain download stuck Post by: Gavin Andresen on June 04, 2012, 07:21:17 PM That may very well be, but I'm generally surprised Yes... but having peers with a completely different block chain from you connect is a good way to shake out obscure bugs. Like Bitcoin-Qt's "how many blocks are in the valid chain" code getting fooled...to see that a testnet "reset" has so many dependencies left on the old chain. Would it be possible to have bitcoin-qt refuse all testnet packets from a peer that identifies as being below a certain version ? Title: Re: Testnet chain download stuck Post by: burger on June 04, 2012, 08:53:00 PM I also have the same problem =( I compiled latest bitcoin-qt from github to test the new translations.
Title: Re: Testnet chain download stuck Post by: Diapolo on June 04, 2012, 09:21:23 PM I'm not sure where this bug is coming from, as the GUI client does:
Code: int ClientModel::getNumBlocks() const and Code: int ClientModel::getNumBlocksOfPeers() const Edit: I checked the debug.log and not a single node was reporting a version in the version message, that indicates, it even knows about a testchain reset. Dia Title: Re: Testnet chain download stuck Post by: burger on June 10, 2012, 06:42:17 AM hmm... I downloaded the latest sources from git and now testnet3 works again... BTW I get testnet2 working as well with Bitcoin Wallet for android.
Was there a bug that collided these two networks? Title: Re: Testnet chain download stuck Post by: rini17 on June 13, 2012, 05:33:36 PM I have the same problem, got errors trying to use testnet with current HEAD from https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin.git :
