Is this the correct thread for technical questions?
I downloaded and installed the Windows 64bit client and started factomd.exe
It seems like the blockchain has been sitting at the same block for a while. I'm getting the message:
[INF] BMGR: At 56819: syncing to block height 67136 from peer 52.19.117.149: 8108
How long should I expect it to take for the blockchain to fully sync?
Will I get messages as it moves to other blocks so I can see the progress?
Is there anything I can do to troubleshoot and see if/ why the sync is stuck?
Yes you can ask technical questions here. Brian Deery and Paul Snow occasionally patrol this thread. You can also post your questions here:
