Wallet stuck on 'connecting to peers'

Need Help
21

Thanks, tried those steps exactly and it re-ran and has stopped again at 97.12% on block 343308.
:frowning:
So frustrated, be really grateful if there another way I can try?

22

In the Console, enter getchaintips. Paste the result here.

Please do not get your block number from the window with the %. Get it from Help → Debug window → Information → Current number of blocks instead.

I did get it from there.

Definitely not using the one next to the % but from the debug window.

Is syncing from scratch an option for you? If yes, please delete the blocks/llmq/chainstate/evodb folders and peers.dat/banlist.dat, and start syncing the wallet from zero.

I have two masternodes - is it OK to sync from scratch with two masternodes? Could I lose everything?

28

The sync from scratch only syncs the blockchain, not your wallet.dat. In any case, please backup your wallet.dat (containing the masternodes) to another location before proceeding.

Thanks for this - trying it now. :crossed_fingers:

It’s been sat there ‘connecting to peers’ and progress ‘calculating’ for the last 4+ hours…? :-/

  1. Did you deleted the peers.dat and banlist.dat?
  2. In Help → Debug window → Peers, do you see any node/service listed?
  3. Are you behind any firewall, anti-virus or security software that would’ve blocked the network access for the Firo wallet?
  4. Is Anonymous communication with Tor checked?

  1. Yes
  2. I didn’t but I do now after ticking ‘anonymous communication with Tor’ - this seems to have helped. I hope this wasn’t the problem all along, ha!
  3. I checked that first and couldn’t see any evidence of anything like that.
  4. As per 2.
    Thanks, hopefully it will sync overnight.
33

Sorted! OMG - it must have been the Anonymous Tor all along! :see_no_evil:
Thank you so much for your help. :grin:

If enabling Anonymous Tor allows you to sync, then the problem would be one of those in (2) or your ISP, that prevents the wallet from syncing.
