Did you get synced? I have waited some long times before the new blocks start syncing, maybe it scans the previous blocks and this takes time (I'm just guessing here). When I have another terminal open and enter factom-cli get height I see that the action has been performed in the factomd terminal and each time a different value is returned, which lets me know that it is working, as also checking CPU usage. I have had disconnections at times, not since the last released binaries, but it tels me that in the factomd terminal. I haven't had any stalls though.... Maybe you have synced now, if not at least this give you a bump....
Yeah I ended up going to bed and let factomd do its thing overnight.
Woke up and it was synched.
Just wondering if this is normal behavior for it to take a few hours to catch up if you stop the service for a day or two, or if something is causing delay.
Right now this is kinda normal on many blockchains, including Factom.
That said, the Genesis code (some refer to as M1, the code you are running) is getting rather long in the tooth. We are working to get Factom Federation out ASAP (what people cal M2), and you can take a preview of the new code by running a node on the Test Net now. The new code base handles multiple federated servers for greater security and distributed authority. We have vastly reduced the footprint in memory, use of CPU, and increases transaction rates. The new code even has a nice control panel and built in explorer.
