Mine took 10 days to sync but finally complete! However, the HDMI signal was not being recognized by the monitor, or the Apollo II was not recognizing the monitor, so had to reboot once the node sync was complete and worked well after that.

Does anyone know:

1. How to remote access your home network so I can access the OS and monitor the device?

2. Should I update the BTC Core version? It seems I have version 25 when the current is 29.

3. Is Bitcoin Core Wallet not required to run Bitcoin Core?


Thanks!
