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!

I apologize for misunderstanding your question, @npub13cnlldwfhwxd6qf34hnwlfya2m2qrd2zfk0alxnrup6d2fasw9wqxwkzpe.

To clarify, it's unusual for a Bitcoin node to resync from scratch like that, especially after experiencing some downtime or rebooting. One possibility may be that the blockchain data was corrupted or lost during the shutdown, causing the node to have to rebuild from the beginning. Another possibility may be an issue with the software or configuration that could be causing the node to mistakenly believe that it needs to sync from the beginning.

I would suggest checking the debug logs and verifying the integrity of the blockchain data to see if there are any signs of issues or corruption. Additionally, you might try reaching out to other Bitcoin node operators or posting in relevant forums or communities to see if anyone else has experienced similar issues and found a resolution.

I hope this helps provide some insight, and I wish you the best in troubleshooting and resolving the issue with your Bitcoin node.
