Hosts Blocked

Post by Bay33 »

Hello, i have spent 2 days trying to solve this problem, but nothing...

In townforged.exe, hosts are blocked so i cant sync the blockcahin anymore.

I tried with another laptop ( which is in the same network), and got the same problem.

I dont know what happened, but i could play for 2 days with the blockcahin synced ( and got some coins for mining too).

If someone can help, i would really appreciate, thanks you!

pd: I think the problem happened when i updated to .2 from .1 version. I copy my wallet files to the new folder (.2), then all this "host blocked" happened.

There was a huge reorg which caused an apparent bug in sync. I'm still looking at it, no fix yet.
This happens when you learn about an alt chain while downloading the main chain, so you can get through it if you keep unblocking the peers that get blocked (unban IP in townforged) for now. Hopefully there'll be a fix soon.

I'd advice you to:
- Reset your current chain (delete it from the hidden folders "C:\ProgramData\townforge\lmdb" or "~/.townforge/lmdb", file name "data.mdb")
- Download the newest Townforge (v0.23.1.5) precompiled or compile it yourself.
- Sync again see if this works. Sometimes the VPS bans your IP for a while if you've been using an old version, so giving it a while might fix the issue.

Running 0.23.1.5 will most likely fix this, without needing to resync.

A few minutes after turning on the mining, the computer goes into a black screen. It looks like CPU throttling.
Tried 4, 8 and 10 threads, the result is freezing.
Until the moment when the block update stopped, I mined for several hours without problems. Maybe the miner settings have changed with the update.

You don't need to mine with so many threads, this is a testnet.
