Hi,

I’ve been running my node for a few weeks and initially was working fine. Lately it will stop syncing and I keep having to reboot it for it to continue to validate the blocks. I purchased the recommended hardware and followed the steps. Any thoughts?

Thanks,

BK

E,

So I got it fixed. I reflashed the SD card. I had a power outage and apparently that can cause some issues. I also got a new case with a fan for my Pi. It was running pretty hot and now the case keeps in the mid 40’s. So far so good.

Hope you get yours resolved as well.

Thanks,

B
