Replying to Avatar BITwise 🐳 >>= RIGHTish

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?!

Pretty sure it's bitcoin, it's the same sync screen from before.

I'd wait this one out.

Yeah - I think I must have screwed something up when I reduced the ram or something got corrupted during shutdown. Hopefully once it downloads the new blocks again I'll be good as new.
