solarcoin not syncing

[paketecuento]

I followed the steps given in https://github.com/Scalextrix/SolarCoin-Raspberry-Pi-Node/blob/master/Create-a-Pi-Node.md

and succesfully installed solarcoind.

After some minutes i checked debug.log and get

is it normal? how can I mine this cryptocurrency?

[Scalextrix]

do you have the correct addnodes in the solarcoin.conf file?

[paketecuento]

this is my solarcoin.conf

server=1
daemon=1
rpcuser=solarcoinrpc
rpcpassword=Bo7kXcrDePxvnQJqzxgbU9AZezpP56xbTB4ue1ZABve6
addnode=162.243.214.120

[Scalextrix]

Ok that looks alright, best not to post your RPC password though.

Do you have a firewall or router blocking the connection? Can you

traceroute 162.243.214.120

Is that successful?

[paketecuento]

no problem with the password, it is just a test!!

Regarding the connection, I'm behind a router with NAT, but outgoing connections are allowed.
See my last output

Looks like its getting nodes but cant find any available to connect. Stop solarcoind and try adding

addnode=2.30.71.112

to solarcoin.conf

[paketecuento]

ok, now it looks syncing!!

great solarcoind getinfo should show a number of connections and blocks now. That IP I gave is not static, but now youhave some peers hopefully you should always find a good connection. Now you just have to wait to sync, it will take a few days.

than you Steven...

Now sit and wait :P

Note: how may GB should I expect?

[Scalextrix]

I didn't look recently, but I think the entire blockchain is still led than 2GB

[Scalextrix]

I just saw in the other issues you raised your device has 512MB RAM, you may have problems syncing the entire blockchain. On my Pi2 the current chain is using over 700MB RAM.

Try 2.30.78.95, unfortunately I don't have a static IP and it changes every few days, but that should get you started and finding peers for now.

Try these nodes in solarcoin.conf:

addnode=139.162.244.34
addnode=88.198.92.47
addnode=162.243.214.120

[Scalextrix]

I have added a node:
addnode=scalextrixsolarcoin.ddns.net

[magicka7]

I have issue trying to sync also the wallet in Ubuntu 16.4

these are my nodes:

addnode=2.30.71.112
addnode=scalextrixsolarcoin.ddns.net
