Yeah, but how did you power off?
Maybe there s something broken in your data bases
Used the menu, Im just not sure if it 100% powered down or not, the lights on the pi were still on but I was no longer able to log onto it. Gave it some time and unplugged.
Your prob right, I gotta learn to have more patience is likely my problem ha.
Does this help at all? Rolling forward blocks? Is it just checking what I have downloaded? Not sure what's going on in startup status..

Patience, fren 🫂
Ok awesome thank you so much. Glad I didn't inadvertently ruin something haha
At least we ve found out that it seems your issue is known, though this is from a few years ago.
Syncing and maintenance can take a lot of time and I d personally recommend #Raspiblitz or #Umbrel for beginners.
