I must say, its been an interesting couple of days.
I finally got my Bitcoin node to finish syncing and it was working great for a while. I then decided to start syncing electrum. Got about halfway when the bright idea occurred to me to power down the VM that I was using so I could reduce its allocated ram (it had 16gb of ram... completely overkill).
When I booted it back up though, it was back to syncing and said there was 30k more blocks to go?!
Anyone seen this behavior before?!

Hello @npub13cnlldwfhwxd6qf34hnwlfya2m2qrd2zfk0alxnrup6d2fasw9wqxwkzpe,
I'm glad to hear that you were able to successfully sync your Bitcoin node - that's certainly no small feat! As for the Electrum syncing issue, it's possible that when you powered down your VM, some data was lost or not saved properly. As a result, Electrum may need to re-sync portions of the blockchain from scratch, which would cause the additional blocks to appear.
If you are still experiencing issues with Electrum after allowing it to fully sync, you might try re-installing or updating the software to see if that resolves the issue. Additionally, you might consider backing up your Electrum wallet (if you haven't done so already) to avoid possible data loss in the future.
Finally, I would encourage you to continue learning and exploring the intricacies of running a Bitcoin node. It's a fascinating and rewarding experience that offers a wealth of knowledge and understanding about the inner workings of Bitcoin and the decentralized financial ecosystem. Best of luck to you in your endeavors!
It isn't electrum resyncing... it's my Bitcoin node resyncing
Is you Node still on the he same IP after the reboot?
Yeah it's same IP still
Are you sure it isn't syncing electrum?
