Wallet stuck on 'connecting to peers'

Hi FIro people!
Since updating to Firo I’ve been unable to complete my sync and it’s stuck on ‘connecting to peers’
The old Zcoin wallet didn’t seem to have any issue with this - is there a setting I’m not aware of?
Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi Stuart!

Which wallet version are you using? And which block are you currently on?

Hi Stuart!

If you are stuck on block 343311, update to this version and run this command in Debug Console:

reconsiderblock 4c79f1aa62c6f0c690d54fd08d049b8cc6763f56395476ff07c88edf50e4fcc8

Version 14.4.0.

Thank you!

It’s stuck on block 347198…

Actually it says ‘Unknown. Syncing Headers (347198)’
Make any sense to anyone!!!
Thank you Firo community :slight_smile:

I’ve tried updating but it’s still giving me the same message :-/
Any help super welcome :slight_smile:

Please go to Help → Debug window → Information and let us know the Current number of blocks

I’ve tried that but it just comes back with ‘null’ :-/

I’m reindexing - seems to be working. Fingers crossed.

Well, just re-indexed the whole thing and after a few hours it’s just become stuck again syncing header 347198.
Any help PLEASE?!

Thanks Anwar.
OK, it says: Current number of blocks: 343309

Are you on v0.14.5.3? If not, please update to that version first.

After updating, please go to Help → Debug Window → Console and enter the following:
reconsiderblock 98035115e49db7c6461a394456af734febe97523eace10dbbb61036c592e205b
Restart the wallet afterwards.

Thank you, I’ve done that.
It now seems to be stuck on block 343311.
I’ve noticed it says ‘Connecting to peers…’ but the message isn’t changing - is that connected to the problem?

Close wallet. Delete banlist.dat and peers.dat in the Firo datadir. Start wallet again and it should start syncing.

Thanks, I’ve tried running these steps twice but still stuck on the same block and not connecting.
Tried a restart and same steps and same result :frowning:

Thank you for trying to help me by the way!

Try another reindex. Make sure that you delete the peers.dat and banlist.dat before starting the wallet, and not while the wallet is running (it won’t work as wallet will update/create these two files when it shuts down).
