hello,

resurrecting a thread of a little while ago, it happened again i had to launch a "reconsiderblock" was wasn't syncing.. are these rogue blocks or something?

i mean i don't mind doing this but ideally shouldn't happen right? then picked up again and works now again. just like last time.

didnt have any unclean shutdowns, etc

thanks
They aren't. If anyone were to send you an invalid block, your client would just reject it and follow the longest chain. This isn't the case because the block is valid and it is also in the longest chain. That is why you're always stuck at synchronization.

It shouldn't happen at all. This means that Core wasn't able to validate the block when it first saw it, perhaps due to it being unable to validate certain data within the block. But yeah, as I said might be your USB controller which can't be fixed unless you swap it out or use the internal drive.
