I'm running:
I've been having trouble trying to complete an initial sync for the last week. Each time I try, it completes the snapshot download, and then starts downloading blocks but inevitably gets stuck. I started trying earlier this week on v1.7.2 and am still getting the same issue on 1.7.6. I've tried the troubleshooting instructions for ropsten here and connecting to the specified peers doesn't change the outcome.
Here's an example run from today:
./parity --chain ropsten --reserved-peers ropstenpeers.txt --reserved-only
2017-10-14 20:31:40 UTC Starting Parity/v1.7.6-stable-1953533-20171013/x86_64-windows-msvc/rustc1.20.0
The snapshots download, blocks start syncing, then it stalls at 599252.

My node was running fine during 2 months. Some day, synchronisation stopped and the console showed the messages "Synchronisation failed, dropping peer" and "Ancestor below allowance". The blockNumber was stuck and syncing was false. I let it run during a week, but it didn't move on.
I removed the chaindata and retried to sync from scratch, it did the job, my node synced well. But a few days later it happened again.
It seems it's stuck in this state.
I am having some syncing problems. I add Ropsten nodes manually using the list provided on https://www.ethernodes.org/network/2/nodes. But some of them are giving me the error "Genesis block mismatch".
How is that possible if I am starting my sync from zero?

The ropsten gasLimit remains at around 4.7million.
However other chains have much higher limits now:
mainnet: ~8
kovan: ~7
rinkeby: ~7.3
Can we have the miners raise the limit?
Most recent blocks are mined by these 2 accounts:

Hi, I'm having problems to connect in the right testnet ropsten chain. Anyone can share some valid nodes? I tried the nodes of ropsten readme (--nodiscover, addNode..) but unsuccessful and even with --testnet only.

After the recent Ropsten fork I can not synchronize to the normal Ropsten network.
I am using parity 1.10.6
I tried warp sync and --no-warp sync. Neither helped. I end up on the chain with best block ~3,069,000, while the actual latest block now is ~3410246.
Are there any stable Ropsten enodes to connect to in order to sync to normal Ropsten? How would one avoid such forked networks generally?
What's this all about? https://ropsten.etherscan.io/address/0xff2b5d4114190bb6447dbae098096fd274029535
..
I use the following command to run geth with testnet, as per the docs it finishes syncing and able to show the balance properly. But, when I am trying to find the transaction by hash, it returns null.
sudo /usr/bin/geth --testnet --verbosity 3 --rpc --light --rpcaddr=0.0.0.0 --rpcport=8545 --rpcapi eth,personal,net,web3,db
The last line synced shows,
INFO [02-28|18:22:30] Imported new block headers count=2 elapsed=5.514ms number=2742610 hash=5fc97f…b0dc77 ignored=0
The following returns null
curl -X POST --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_getTransactionByHash","params":["MY_TX_HASH_HERE"],"id":1}' http://127.0.0.1 -H "Content-Type: application/json"
It returns with,
{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"result":null}
Any suggestions?
I followed the github's instructions of geth --testnet removedb
then ran
geth --rpc --rpcapi eth,net,web3,personal --testnet --syncmode "fast" console --cache=1024
then manually added the bootnodes according to the github
I still have 0 from admin.peers, 0 for eth.blockNumber and eth.syncing is false.
How do I sync? How long will this take? I hear from 1 person on the Stack Exchange that it can take a week (!)
Hello for an application of mine I would need a semi-large amount of ropsten ether (50-100). What would be the best way to go about it? The faucet only drips 0.3 eth an hour. Thanks in advance.
Something's wrong today with Ropsten. Please see e.g. these issue comments:
Thanks a lot.
I have tried both of these for pools:
//address WETHUSDCPool = 0x88e6A0c2dDD26FEEb64F039a2c41296FcB3f5640;
from https://etherscan.io/address/0x88e6a0c2ddd26feeb64f039a2c41296fcb3f5640#readContract -- this looks like the right pool from searching
address WETHUSDCPool = 0x8ad599c3A0ff1De082011EFDDc58f1908eb6e6D8; //?? linked from uniswap
from https://info.uniswap.org/#/pools/0x8ad599c3a0ff1de082011efddc58f1908eb6e6d -- this one I get from UNISWAP
I always get an error consulting the Uniswap V3 Oracle Library with these pools, it reverts which it can do if there are no reserves.
What is the correct WETH-USDC Pool? Thank you!!
I'm sorry I am not actually the one synching so I have no data for you, but I am cross posting from reddit:
https://www.reddit.com/r/ethereum/comments/63vd1l/these_ropsten_revived_instructions_do_not_seem_to/
Etherscan says last transaction was 2 days 14 hours ago. https://ropsten.etherscan.io/address/0x687422eea2cb73b5d3e242ba5456b782919afc85
I tried the faucet yesterday and it hasn't worked although my request was queued and I received the transaction hash on the webpage. This is not a problem with ropsten as the Metamask faucet (https://faucet.metamask.io/) has been working up until to a minute ago.
Hi,
I am facing an issue in Open-attestation when I am using the Ropsten network.
Here is the link to that issue. Open-Attestation/open-attestation-cli#127
This is my transaction link - https://ropsten.etherscan.io/tx/0x30e0904520d683dc5face3965641fc96bb2b21be3bebac185861641f2e82d2b8
Please advise me. Also, let me know how much time it will take.
I'm trying to sync with Ropsten testnet via Parity, but the node doesn't start the sync and Parity doesn't find any peer.
I'm running:
Parity version: 1.8.5
OS: MacOS High Sierra 10.13
I tried to restart the node and delete the db but it doesn't help. The network on the node is working fine. I tried to connect to Ropsten even in these 2 ways:
parity --chain ropsten --bootnodes "enode://20c9ad97c081d63397d7b685a412227a40e23c8bdc6688c6f37e97cfbc22d2b4d1db1510d8f61e6a8866ad7f0e17c02b14182d37ea7c3c8b9c2683aeb6b733a1@52.169.14.227:30303,enode://6ce05930c72abc632c58e2e4324f7c7ea478cec0ed4fa2528982cf34483094e9cbc9216e7aa349691242576d552a2a56aaeae426c5303ded677ce455ba1acd9d@13.84.180.240:30303"
parity --chain ropsten --reserved-peers ropstenpeers.txt --reserved-only
but the result was the same: it can not find any nodes to connect.
