Wallet will not sync #8397

The wallet should be syncing from the node - which is running on the same system. So it's rather unusual for the wallet to claim the node didn't respond. I believe there is a 60-second timeout for the node to respond here. Is your system load particularly high? I might consider reducing the number of peers your node is using. |

Thank you for the reply, I appreciate it. Load shouldn't be high. Not running anything else on the PC. I'm running DDR3 and i7-4790 CPU if that's relevant or not. I just need to figure out where/how to ad the commands you've suggested. I will report back. Thanks. |

Just to revist this. I tried for about an hour. Learned about CLI which is handy. No idea how to get those commands you listed running. No matter what I tried, commands not accepted. Having said all of this, I've been using the same PC with all the same settings and the only thing that changed was the Chia version updates. Of course anything is possible, who knows for sure why I'm having issues now on multiple levels. Unfortunately with many Google (and Bing) searches there is no clear reference to setting peer count or setting up debug. I'm not a rookie but the resources or articles are very sparse or Google can't seem to figure out what I'm looking for. I'll just share this as feedback because I'm not a beginner by any stretch, but it seems to be hard to find basic, concise, laid out tutorials or guides. I'm sure the commands you listed are as simple as you can get, but I don't have any reference point to make it happen. I still go back to the fact that the only change from what I know is that I updated Chia. My hardware and settings haven't changed. So in that regard, changing a setting as suggested here would be surprising to me if it was in fact the magic bullet. Is hardware failure a possibility? I suppose so. I can't say that Chia caused my PC to freeze but this happened. In a bizarre twist, just now, my PC was frozen, literally, but beep, beep, beep, beep, Chia opened up. That is a bizarre "unfreeze" if I've ever seen one. If you feel like explaining how exactly I can enter those commands you listed, I'm all ears. Thank you. (yes I'm frustrated now) |

I'm going to assume you are on Windows. You can also manually edit the config.yaml file that is located Yes, you are right, neither is unlikely to resolve the issue directly, however, we may get more details in the log file about which problems. You are having. |

Thank you for that, and your patience with me. I definitely believe in Chia so I don't want to sound like a complainer. I like to troubleshoot and problem solve. Yes, I'm on Windows. I will add more log details as I get them. That situation last night with the freeze, jittery moving pointer (without me moving the mouse), then a few beep sequences, and my wifi signal dropping off during that moment (beeps) was about the most bizarre thing I've seen. It tells me something is amiss, but obviously logs will determine if it's software or hardware related. I've never heard a PC make those beeps from a speaker while in the OS. I guess last thing from me is whether it's helpful for me to test on a previous version of Chia or not and whether that would be helpful or even advisable. More of an A/B test comparison. Thanks again. |

Just a quick update. I didn't fiddle with anything, I waited out the update which I've just done. Wallet still stuck unfortunately. I wonder if I should try for a 3rd time, to delete the wallet and sync from 0 again? |

Here are my log files after my most recent "start wallet from scratch" for the third time. I am absolutely grateful if anyone can offer suggestions on this.

Yes this is the same machine. Sorry, I need to update the plotting issue thread. I'll mention here. I needed to complete a second plot before knowing if my issue was resolved. To be perfectly responsible, I should wait for a 3rd plot to complete because I had a restart, which of course, is most likely because of a Windows update. Go figure! Anyways, the suggestion about RAM and XMP? Seems like a tweak to an XMP profile around the time of the Chia updates. Not thinking that XMP profiles could cause issues I didn't even remember changing that variable. But clearly this XMP profile on the RAM was at play. The moment I deactivated the XMP profile to default, my plot completed. All that said regarding RAM, my wallet is still stuck. I am right now going to change the "peers" as first suggested to me here. Apologies to the person helping me that I hadn't deal with the peers situation as a possible solution. My bad. |

Whelp, after adding the "peer" change, I'm still stuck with sync on wallet. I will run one last plot to confirm that issue is resolved. As mentioned, I had one random reboot during the night when I tested a second plot, but I'm quite sure it was due to a Windows update. I want to be accurate, so I will run another plot and report back in the other thread. But wallet wise, I'm quite stuck here. No pun intended. 2021-09-16T09:42:34.812 full_node full_node_server : ERROR Exception: bad encoding, {'host': '', 'port': 8449}.

Well I had high hopes with the new Chia version. I'm still completely Not Synced with my wallet. Three times I've started wallet from scratch but it hits a wall. I'm at a loss here. |

This error The wallet will likely never sync correctly because of this error. Unfortunately, you probably need to re-sync the full node. |

Okay, here is my update. THIS WORKED. The 4th time I started from scratch and I'm good. Again, things point to the XMP profile enabled, which must have been the case when I started the node sync from scratch. For the first time in 2 weeks of trying, I can finally see my wallet, my pool and I appear to be "back in business again", which some of you might recognize from Fly On The Wall. Anyways, I can't thank you enough. The help might seem like a simple solution or easy to figure, but the fact is I wouldn't likely have known to try for a 4th time. That's just a fact. My brain can't understand why the RAM played a role in not syncing, but that's okay. It was clearly the issue and frankly I could have looked to every other aspect of my PC before realizing the fix. I appreciate the help and perhaps you don't realize how big of a deal this is for me. Anyone using older PC gear knows what I'm talking about. Issues can be 1 of 100 different things. Who's to know. |

I've recently done a clean reinstallation of Chia to fix mainnet sync issue/stall. Currently sync to mainnet is working, however wallet sync is not. I've tried deleting the wallet files and started that sync from scratch, but once again it's stalled out on the sync. Because of this I cannot access my pool or do much of anything. Let's call this issue no.1 because there are more problems than this. I haven't been able to get a plot to complete in about a week of trying, but I'll save that for a different thread. I had no issues with earlier versions of Chia. I have plots, they didn't stall out and sync was never an issue.
