LNWL: Unable to complete chain rescan: -1: Block not available (pruned data)

[marsrobertson]

Errors message in the UI is misleading, having look at the logs it says:

LNWL: Unable to complete chain rescan: -1: Block not available (pruned data)

Operating System: MacOS

I haven't' run the node launcher in a long time.

Quite possibly the Bitcoin node pruned the old blocs

Shall I remove the blockchain directory to start fresh?

[marsrobertson]

Deleted Bitcoin folder.

Started sync from scratch.

Same error:

log.txt

~Maybe I should update to latest?~

Node Launcher version 6.0.6
Bitcoin Core version 0.18.1
LND version v0.7.1-beta

~I have no idea why I haven't done it the first time!~

Of course I updated to latest, standard procedure when debugging, related issue: #413

It doesn't support pruned blockchain.

Remove prune=XXXX from your bitcoin.conf and resync the blockchain.

Will I have enough SSD space though?

(the answer is no, I have only 30-40 GB of free space)

Previously it was working (and it was working good) because the Bitcoin blockchain was pruned, which was a key adoption amplifier.
