I suppose you already installed newest node version with sudo dpkg -i command (installing over old version is fine)
After deleting /var/lib/waves/data just do: sudo wget -qO- http://blockchain.wavesnodes.com/blockchain_last.tar | tar xv -C /var/lib/waves
The downloading process will take some 40 minutes.
After it finishes, just start your node again.
Note: probably next time you will upgrade, you won’t need to get new blockchain. It is needed only when some major changes in the blockchain format are happening
Sorry for noob quistions ) im newby here and learning…
copied and got this
tar: data: Cannot mkdir: Permission denied
tar: data/8182989.ldb: Cannot open: No such file or directory
Then I made new data dir in waves dir.
sudo mkdir data
Obviously, you created data dir with root owner, but tar archive contains blockchain files with waves owner. So you need to change data dir owner and group both to waves before untaring
Downloading takes some 95% of time and extracting 5%, so, if you do it sequentially, you have 95%+5%. With simultaneous operation you have just 95%. Also, if you are limited in space, an archive and extracted contents might just not fit both
It was downloading. But then I was afk turned book off.
When Came back I checked stats of server and saw that I dont have incoming traffic. So I think that dowload finished. CAuse I dont know how to check if everythig is dowloaded.
SO I started waves.service and got this now ((
Hope you can help me resolve this…
This is “normal”. I have the same validation errors sometimes and I reported it to github. My understanding is that latest node versions 1.1.4 and 1.1.5 were written in a hurry and thus not properly tested.
Congrats, you node is mining microblocks now - everything is good!
