Hello aa,

I’ve been looking at the forum and I can’t find a solution to my problem.

My dashboard works fine but when I enter the Bitcoin Node app it permanently appears in starting.

I look at the logs and I don’t find any errors or problems.

I flashed the MicroSD, I have also deleted the peers.dat file and the setting.json etc. in the terminal. and I still have the same problem.

Any solution? I’m desperate.

Thank you so much

Hi @boomhashing,

Sure thing. So we can troubleshoot this further, we’ll need to generate some logs from your Umbrel- could you please enter the settings dashboard on your Umbrel, and press ‘START’ under troubleshooting.  
You can share the output here with [https://pastebin.com/](https://pastebin.com/), and we’ll see what the issue is.

Ok nothing stands out from the logs.

Could you please try running the following

> sudo ~/umbrel/scripts/app restart bitcoin

Give it 5-minutes, and if the issue is still the same we will try to log it with the following

> ~/umbrel/scripts/app compose bitcoin logs --tail 400

Which you can share with [pastebin.com](http://pastebin.com) again
