My node doesn't connect to any peer

[ujiko]

Hello everybody,
my node is the
Bitcoin Client Software and Version Number: 31.0.0 version,
Operating System: i am under Ubuntu 22.0 Jammy,
System Hardware Specs: i have a 8 core AMD machine (3 years old), 16GB RAM, OS is on 100GB SSD, database is on a 2TB Hard drive (852GB Free)
and there is nothing interesting in the debug.log file ;

Code:

...
Please restart with -reindex or -reindex-chainstate to recover.
2024-09-16T05:45:04Z Aborted block database rebuild. Exiting.

My node denying to connect to any peer, it's frozen since 6 days ;

I didn't move anything in the configuration files and i doesn't understand why there is no peer in the queue. Is there anyone else with the same problem?

This line indicates that there's a corrupted file in your datadir.

You can follow what's instructed but it would be more efficient to find which file is corrupted so you know if --reindex-chainstate is enough to fix it or a full reindex is required.
The latter is quite heavy and will take longer to finish than the former.
There should be lines above those that show the corrupted file(s).

BTW, in case your blockchain is pruned, it's not possible without redoing IBD again.

Strange things happen from time to time; if your data drive is an external usb drive the cable could be going bad, or the OS got distracted with some other usb processes.  It could have been caused by a power surge.  I've had hard drives go bad with little to no warning.  If this never happened before, just reindex and hope it doesn't happen again.  If it becomes endemic, then you'll want to dig deeper.

I'm sorry i have post an old bitcoin log, it's its original initialization, since 2024 no any blockchain problem appears.

Quoting for visibility:

Is there no more recent entry in debug.log?

Code:

Even if it can't connect, it should write that to debug.log. Is it possible you're looking in an old directory?

The timestamps give it away, I can't believe I missed that.
So how about the current log?

There may not be any errors, but subtle issues like following the wrong chain tip or some config may cause such issue.
You may also include the lines that show your settings (just snip the parts that you need to censor like rpc credentials)

Here is the current debug.log file ;

2026-07-17T08:11:33Z [warning] Data directory "/data/donee" contains a "bitcoin.conf" file which is ignored, because a different configuration file "/home/gilles/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf" from data directory "/home/gilles/.bitcoin" is being used instead. Possible ways to address this would be to:
- Delete or rename the "bitcoin.conf" file in data directory "/data/donee".
- Change datadir= or conf= options to specify one configuration file, not two, and use includeconf= to include any other configuration files.

2026-07-17T08:11:54Z [error] Error while reading proxy response

This is where I'd start looking

[ujiko]

i've opened the 9050 port in the fw, nut no changed.

Here is the current debug.log file

Is Tor running in the background?

Aside from conflicting and depreciated settings which isn't the main issue,
I see that you're using onlynet=onion which means that your node will only connect to onion peers
So, if Tor isn't running or having issues, then Bitcoin Core wont be able to connect either.

[ujiko]

First tor is running, but i comment #onlynet=onion and #txindex=1
here is the debug.log ;

2026-07-17T09:41:38Z [warning] Data directory "/data/donee" contains a "bitcoin.conf" file which is ignored, because a different configuration file "/home/gilles/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf" from data directory "/home/gilles/.bitcoin" is being used instead. Possible ways to address this would be to:
- Delete or rename the "bitcoin.conf" file in data directory "/data/donee".
- Change datadir= or conf= options to specify one configuration file, not two, and use includeconf= to include any other configuration files.

First tor is running, but i comment #onlynet=onion and #txindex=1

Commenting it out shouldn't be the solution.
Your node is still setup to run behind Tor proxy, so looking for possible issues in your Tor setup should be done first so I've asked if it's running in the background.
Since you said that it does, there must be an issue with it.

Does it show anything when you enter this in the terminal?

Code:

ss -aln | grep 9050

Or if you want, you can disable those settings related to Tor, but your node will connect to clearnet nodes.
I see multiple instances of proxy settings, one in your "bitcoin.conf" file and one in your "settings.json" file which is set by the GUI's settings menu (only the latter).

As for txindex, you don't have to remove it.
I mistook the config line as --reindex but quickly removed it from my post in less than 10 seconds after posting it.
(you must have read the original message since it needs a browser refresh to update)

[NotATether]

I see that you're using onlynet=onion which means that your node will only connect to onion peers
So, if Tor isn't running or having issues, then Bitcoin Core wont be able to connect either.

And if Tor is running, then this sort of error message above should never appear. It shouldn't shut down Bitcoin Core either. It would just stall and keep trying to sync without being able to connect to any of its peers (whether from the dnsseed or saved). So this is the most likely cause.

I havr thid ;

Code:

$ ss -aln | grep 9050
tcp   LISTEN 0      4096                                                127.0.0.1:9050             0.0.0.0:* 

But i believe that the problem appears when i shut it down while it was synchronizing the blockchain, like a corrupted intermediate file.

Code:

2026-07-17T08:11:33Z Config file arg: proxy="127.0.0.1:9050"
~
2026-07-17T08:11:54Z [error] Error while reading proxy response

This is where I'd start looking

Yes, i search why.


I have these warnings ;

As you're running on Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS, is your Tor package installed from Snap or did you install it via apt?

I had issues on the same Ubuntu OS version with the Snap packages of Bitcoin Core and Tor, but it's maybe one or two years ago and because I couldn't get them resolved, I ditched the Snap packages and installed Bitcoin Core and Tor from other sources.

I forgot the details, might have to dig in my posting history.


P.S.
You might want to respect Unofficial list of (official) Bitcointalk.org rules, guidelines, FAQ and avoid breaking rule #32 (unnecessary consecutive posts within less than 24h time interval).

i used apt to install tor and i install bitcoin 31.0.0 from the native packages.

Code:

/bitcoin-31.0$ sudo install -m 0755 -o root -g root -t /usr/local/bin bin/*

Does it show anything when you enter this in the terminal?

Code:

ss -aln | grep 9050

I havr thid ;

Code:

$ ss -aln | grep 9050
tcp   LISTEN 0      4096                                                127.0.0.1:9050             0.0.0.0:* 

Hmm, it's listening on that port, yet Bitcoin Core gets weird response from the proxy.

But i believe that the problem appears when i shut it down while it was synchronizing the blockchain, like a corrupted intermediate file.

If it's a corrupted file that's tied to syncing the blockchain, we'll see it in the logs and you would've seen a different error.

As far as the log contents, there's no issue in Bitcoin Core.

I'm not an expert on troubleshooting Tor though.
But I tried that on my Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS and apt installed an older version of Tor v0.4.6.10.
Can you try to reinstall it but by following their installation guide to make sure that the latest version will be installed instead: support.torproject.org/little-t-tor/getting-started/installing/#debian-ubuntu

This related to your -rpcallowip config as mentioned in the first line.
This couldn't be related to the issue though but I might be missing something.

But anyways, since Core's RPC is already limited to localhost, I'm pretty sure setting -rpcallowip to localhost isn't necessary if your goal is to just do that.

What is your tor version?

Make sure it is up to date, at least 0.4.9 or newer, since the Tor Project announced that older versions of Tor will stop working because of some upgrade.

Please see this blog post for more information.
