BTC wallet and blockchain size

I recently setup a node on Ubuntu, and it was nice and simple, so thanks for that!

I seem to be having an issue with the bitcoin wallet, I tried sending some sats over to it, but the address is invalid. Any ideas? Note, the wallet still hasn’t sync’d.

Also, the blockchain size is only 30gb, shouldn’t it be larger (~300gb)?

So just wait to be synced 100%. It could take several days, so be patient.
Meanwhile you could read this mini guide for Umbrel

@DarthCoin thanks for your reply. The blockchain shows it’s 100% sync’d at a size of 30GB. The bitcoin wallet now shows active but if I try and send bitcoin to it I get an error saying it’s not a public address.

@DarthCoin I was looking over the guide I used to set this up and I didn’t notice that when I ran the script it was using the ‘testnet’ option for the network:

sudo NETWORK=testnet ./scripts/start

I’m assuming this is my issue? and if so, is there away to change this to mainnet?

@DarthCoin sorry for the spam :slight_smile: I just blew away the docker containers and redeployed the script and the BTC wallet address is correct and the block chain is syncing again.

So looks like the testnet was my issue.

Bom dia! Eu ainda nem consegui instalar o sistema na minha maquina, help me please…

@Marcelopy, on Linux?

isso no linux

Eu entendo pouco de programação, e instalar pacotes e meio complicado, eu quero muito começão a minerar, gostaria que fosse no raspbeery4 mais ainda não tenho…

@Marcelopy, no problem. Here is what I did:

System requirements:
Machine should be running Ubuntu, have a minimum of 4GB of RAM and the machine should have 600GB+ of free disk space

Update all packages in Ubuntu:

Open terminal in ubuntu

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

Install Docker:

sudo apt-get install \
    apt-transport-https \
    ca-certificates \
    curl \
    gnupg-agent \
    software-properties-common

curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add -

sudo add-apt-repository \
   "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu \
   $(lsb_release -cs) \
   stable"

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io

! Confirms if Docker is setup and running correctly:

sudo docker run hello-world

Install Python3:

sudo apt install python3

Install Docker Compose:

sudo curl -L "https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.27.4/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m)" -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

Install other dependencies:

sudo apt-get install fswatch jq rsync curl

Dowload and Start Umbrel:

mkdir umbrel
cd umbrel
curl -L https://github.com/getumbrel/umbrel/archive/v0.3.1.tar.gz | tar -xz --strip-components=1

sudo ./scripts/start

If this is all successful, after you start Umbrel it will tell you how to access it from your browser, likely will be:

http://<machine-hostname>.local
http://<internal-lan-ip>

If you need some guidance on how to navigate the GUI and do the initial setup, BTC sessions has a good tutorial and you can fast forward to 18:02 in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fppmhqjqh2E

You might have to Google that error and figure out how to solve it.

Bom dia! Alguém poderia me ajudar suporte sobre este nó que vamos fazer com raspberry4, este nó eu receberei em bitcoin, eu posso tirar ele em reais depois de ter sincronizado o nó, quanto tempo mais ou menos…

Está configuração do raspberry4 vai sincronizar somente um nó, ou ele continua sincronizando os nós
