Re: [ANN] [XMV] MoneroV - Fork 1:10 of Monero - Finite coin supply - Private
Blazin, if you stop the daemon and restart, it will probably connect to some different peers who may have more of the chain downloaded. It took me like 4 days to sync the first time, but my balance was wrong. I deleted the db file, re-imported my wallet a different way, and then re-synced (with different peers), and it only took a day the second time.
I tried that several times today. Unfortunately, it didn't help. Thanks for trying though.
I did some research today and found out that lowering the block sync size sometimes helps with sync issues. This can especially be true for people with slow internet. I was getting a lot of SYNCHRONIZATION started messages in Monerovd and very few updates on my sync progress. Apparently SYNCHRONIZATION started can indicate that the current block download timed out and was restarted. My internet is relatively slow, so that might explain the problem I was having.
The default block sync size is 20, which already seems small enough to me. I didn't think it would help, but using --block-sync-size 10 actually made a huge difference! I'm syncing much faster now.
