Testnet4 node constantly having its index corrupted

[BlackHatCoiner]

I have not had this problem recently.

That makes it very difficult to reproduce. I'll test it if blocks start Forking again.

Forks restarted: https://fork.observer/

Forks restarted: https://fork.observer/

I checked the last few forked blocks on mempool.space, and both blocks (the active one and the replaced one) send the block reward to the same address. So it looks like someone's running multiple miners to make sure his block beats anything else.

I'll schedule restarting my Bitcoin Core tomorrow.

Hey Loyce, since your server is still running without any error messages, could you add blockfilterindex=1 in your bitcoin.conf and restart it?

Edit: you might need to restart with bitcoind --reindex

Done! It's currently running this:

Code:

~/bitcoin-28.0/bin/bitcoind -testnet4 -conf=/home/loyce/.bitcoin/testnet4/bitcoin.conf -reindex

That took less than 40 minutes.

I've entered this:

Code:

This should toggle bitcoind to stop and restart every hour for the coming 3 days.

Feel free to keep an eye on my debug.log
