I downloaded and setup the bitcoind and by using the command to check the progress of the download it shows like it gets to 25k~ and then starts over back from 0 and so it continues in a handless loop. Here it is a screenshot that show what im talking about http://prntscr.com/eoeuhe Thanks for helping :)

  • By the way, you can omit -rpcuser and -rpcpassword if it's in your bitcoin.conf. bitcoin-cli knows how to read bitcoin.conf for that. – Nick ODell Mar 25 '17 at 20:08
  • I have tried to omit them but even if those are in my bitcoin.conf it says like I have to put them – Demon Slayer Mar 25 '17 at 20:19
  • Huh, that's odd. – Nick ODell Mar 25 '17 at 20:19
  • Have you looked in the debug.log file? What version of bitcoind is this? – Nate Eldredge Mar 25 '17 at 21:41
  • How much free memory does the system have? It may be running out of memory at flush time, and then needing to start over. – Pieter Wuille Mar 26 '17 at 04:03
  • it starts going then it says "couldn't connect to server uknown (code -1) make sure server is running and you are connecting to the correct rpc port and starts over. Im looking to the debug.log but can't find anything.. will try to kill all the processes and wait for the client to finish downloading – Demon Slayer Mar 26 '17 at 15:41
  • freeing some memory it let me get to 150k~ then it crashes again even if it uses only 50~% Mem and 18~% cpu kib mem 499056 total, 5796 free, 266392 used 226868 buff/mem – Demon Slayer Mar 26 '17 at 16:03
  • For everybody that wants to run bitcoind on a server, be assured you need 150 GB of disk space. That's absurd. Also 300-500~ gb od bandwith monthly. – Demon Slayer Mar 28 '17 at 04:16
  • Neither of these two blanket statements is correct. :) Please look into pruning and blocksonly. – Murch Apr 07 '17 at 09:42
