Full node synchronizing problems [v1.1.1]

ryang521

I've been running v1.1.1 since day one without issues but it stopped working about 24 hours ago so I rebooted it but it's been synchronizing ever since and doesn't appear to actually be working properly. I decided to upgrade to v1.1.2 to see if this would fix it but after extracting the .tar.gz file for Windows and then extracting the .tar file, my antivirus quarantined gvite-windows-386.exe and says it is infected with Win32:Xpaj-gen. I want to run a node but I don't want to download a virus! Could any devs weigh in on this issue?

Sorry about the scene.

You can start v1.1.1, the app will take some time to find near peers to connect (usually about 1 minute), then will syncing to peers it connected.

You can add a field StaticNodes to reduce the time of discovery peers.

Open the windows cmd, and input following code:

curl -X POST \
  http://127.0.0.1:48132/ \
  -H 'cache-control: no-cache' \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -H 'postman-token: 1e9960d8-65da-257f-b07a-c4e2a65c04bf' \
  -d '{
        "jsonrpc": "2.0",
        "id": 5,
        "method": "net_syncInfo",
        "params": null
}'

then enter, it will show the syncing progress. syncing will take multi hours according to your network speed and the number of blocks to sync.

Any questions are welcome.

Our code is open source. we can be sure there is no virus. Could you provide your windows version, and your antivirus application ? We will make further test.

Just a false detection from the anti virus. They are not always 100% accurate.

Would be great if you could provide the name of the anti virus so someone or the developers could submit a false positive form to them.

Example if you're using Avast, https://www.avast.com/false-positive-file-form.php

Xpaj-gen

All code is open so there is no way to have virus. If you know some scripts you can also build the .exe file from source by yourself

Using windows 10 and AVG free edition
