I’m not all that familiar with the bitcoin-app logs, but I’m not seeing anything that indicates that bitcoind is not running as intended. Can you try connecting via RPC using bitcoin-cli? This isn’t ideal, but it will tell us if bitcoind is operating properly, and maybe get some traction on this issue. ```auto sudo umbrel/bin/bitcoin-cli/bitcoin-cli -rpcuser= -rpcpassword= getnetworkinfo ``` I think that command should work, because according to your logs, the default rpc port is open, and localhost is allowed. ---

Thats probably because I put bitcoin-cli twice from the looks of it. Sorry about that! ```auto sudo umbrel/bin/bitcoin-cli -rpcuser= -rpcpassword= getnetworkinfo ``` ---

What umbrel os version are you on? I am on the latest 1.2.2. It gives a deprecation warning but maybe it’s because I’m using an x86 VM image. What do you see when you run ls -lah umbrel/bin? ---

Chiptuner, thank you for the help. I get the command not found. Running 1.2.2 However, I found an error that says the index needed to be reindexed so I went down that road. It is starting now. Thank you so much for your willingness to help. ---

Well it was at least some place to start. Not a problem. Good catch, I completely missed it! ```auto Error: txindex: best block of the index not found. Please rebuild the index. ``` Edit: I feel really silly now. I looked right at it when you first uploaded your logs, it just didn’t register. ```auto bitcoin_bitcoind_1 | 2024-07-23T11:29:17Z Opening LevelDB in /data/.bitcoin/indexes/txindex bitcoin_bitcoind_1 | 2024-07-23T11:29:17Z Opened LevelDB successfully bitcoin_bitcoind_1 | 2024-07-23T11:29:17Z Using obfuscation key for /data/.bitcoin/indexes/txindex: 0000000000000000 bitcoin_bitcoind_1 | 2024-07-23T11:29:17Z Opening LevelDB in /data/.bitcoin/indexes/blockfilter/basic/db bitcoin_bitcoind_1 | 2024-07-23T11:29:17Z Opened LevelDB successfully bitcoin_bitcoind_1 | Error: txindex: best block of the index not found.
