Invalid merkle root

Open arthurwolf opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

I was getting "invalid merkle root" errors in my terminal, and the node stopped working.

So I just deleted the chain, downloaded a fresh snapshot, and started syncing from that snapshot.

It started catching up for a few hours, but then at one point (about one day late/back from being synced), it started giving the same error AGAIN:

v1.1.16 is needed, because of hardfork

heki-ru avatar Oct 13 '22 15:10 heki-ru

Thanks. Questions:

  1. What hardfork?
  2. How do I learn about when I need to upgrade my node? Any way to receive emails or some sort of notifications? How do y'all do it? Do you just wait for things to break then come here for help? Doesn't sound very efficient.

arthurwolf avatar Oct 13 '22 15:10 arthurwolf

Hi @arthurwolf , hardfork is similar to a system upgrade. After a specified height, new code will be run. If the node is not updated in time to support fork, your node will continue to work on this chain.

You can subscribe to bnb-chain's twitter, whenever BSC has a new release, it will be announced https://twitter.com/BNBCHAIN
