Repo Steps

1. lotus-miner init --sector-size=2KiB --nosync

2.try to exec ./lotus mpool replace -auto not work。

3. lotus daemon Synchronizing block data。why can not Broadcast the message pool

Hey @linyintao2010! It seems like you are trying to initialize on a 2k/developer network. Is this network up and running, and are you connected to it?

I also do not reccomend trying to initilize the storage provider with the --nosync flag

can connected it and see the synchronization block，The height is increasing all the time。According to my understanding of blockchain, as long as the blocks are synchronized, everything is fine，But filecoin the synchronous wait is never done in the file currency，miner init always show wait confirmation。

I noticed that diff 1 appeared when I executed the following command (lotus sync wait）

Did you follow this guide setting up the local developer network?

I´m also converting this issue into a discussion, as it this does not currently seem like an issue, but rather a troubleshooting question.

yes,strictly follow the local network guide. Even at genesis, the first miner's servers failed to synchronize，Meanwhile, I can see that blocks are being created all the time，That means the miners are working。Execute the following command： Lotus Sync Wait on this server does not see done。
Everything looks fine, why can't it be done。Are there any more Settings to output more information to find the problem，thanks

Hey @linyintao2010 , Are you sure that you have initialised the miner correctly?
./lotus-miner init --genesis-miner --actor=t01000 --sector-size=2KiB --pre-sealed-sectors=~/.genesis-sectors --pre-sealed-metadata=~/.genesis-sectors/pre-seal-t01000.json --nosync

If you will try to initialise the miner without 2 sectors sealed and specifying the genesis miner ID, it will not work. The reason is simple, a message(miner init message) requires to be included in the block and there are no miners in local-network to create blocks and execute messages. It is chicken-egg conundrum. So we init the miner using above command that includes all the required information to initialise the miner.

yes，I can see that height is increasing all the time。At the same time, I tried to transfer money, and I could see the new account received

Hey @rjan90 ，can you help me solve this problem。

I follow this guide setting up the local developer network in new server。
Create the initial node and miner，I can see that height is increasing all the time。
then execute the following command
./lotus sync wait
You can see that validates a lot of information，and diff is zero，see below img

Results of the above execution What puzzles me is why it's not done，Is this normal？

How can I verify the success of setting up the local network in filecoin。

thanks

[LexLuthr]

This is expected behaviour as there is nothing to sync from. You are the only node in this network as well as the only block producer.
You can dig through the command code to understand why it never completes.

If you are able to send funds then network is setup correctly.

lotus-miner failed to initialize。show Waiting for confirmation。Stuck without moving

try to exec ./lotus mpool replace -auto not work。

hey @LexLuthr
in the second server the second lotus daemon success to initialize,can see sync height. but the second lotus-miner failed to initialize。show Waiting for confirmation。Stuck without moving

try to exec ./lotus mpool replace -auto not work。

follow this guide setting up the local developer network.

how to go next step to solve this problem. thanks
