BSC FULLNODE SYNC

[Githugutech]

Method Used to Sync BSC Fullnode from the genesis block

Hello. Could you help me please. I used the following procedure:

Geth version: V1.1.8 OS & Version: Ubuntu 20

Expected behaviour

I fully expected the syncing process to run successful and faster. I synced ETH node and it took me 4 hours to sync data from 6 years and 6 months.

Actual behaviour

. Failed with the following error WARN [07-22|11:59:44.642] Config field is deprecated and won't have an effect name=ethconfig.Config.EWASMInterpreter Fatal: ./config.toml, line 35: field 'OracleThreshold' is not defined in gasprice.Config, see https://godoc.org/github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/eth/gasprice#Config for available fields

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

. I download geth and mainnet using wget version 1.1.8 . Made the geth_linux downloaded executable using chmod +x geth_linux . Unzipped the mainnet to get the config.tomol and genesis.json . Move config.toml and genesis.json to the root folder . Run the command ./geth_linux --datadir ./mainnet init genesis.json to generate genesis . Download the latest snapshot . Deleted the chaindata and triecache data from the datadir folder (mainnet) incase it already exists to sync afresh. . Move the chaindata and triecache data of the downloaded snapshot to my datadir (mainnet) using the commands below . rm -rf mainnet/geth/chaindata . rm -rf mainnet/geth/triecache . mv server/data-seed/geth/chaindata mainnet/geth/chaindata . mv server/data-seed/geth/triecache mainnet/geth/triecache

. Removed logs settings from config.toml so that I can see logs in the terminal in real-time. I deleted the last part of the config.toml file. . Then started node sync using ./geth_linux --config ./config.toml --datadir ./mainnet --cache 100000 --rpc.allow-unprotected-txs --txlookuplimit 0 --http --maxpeers 100 --ws --syncmode=full --snapshot=false --diffsync

Help me please, I don't know how to solve it.

Your version seems outdated-newest is v1.1.11. If that does not fix it, simply remove the config line causing the error

[Githugutech]

still doesn't work, i have tried even the old versions but i have the same problem

@Githugutech Can you try the config files and binary in the release https://github.com/bnb-chain/bsc/releases ?

If you still encounter issues with them, please share the config and command you are using. Thanks.
