Ethereum: How to Check Bitcoind Blockchain Download Progress

Since you are having issues with your Bitcoind server on Ubuntu, let’s dive into troubleshooting the Ethereum blockchain upload process.

Understanding Error Codes

The error “-10” indicates that 10 errors occurred while uploading the blockchain. However, this does not necessarily mean that these errors are preventing the download process from completing successfully.

Here’s what you need to know about the blockchain.download command:

• blockchain.download: This is the command used to download the Ethereum blockchain.

• "-t": Specifies the download speed in blocks per second (BPS).

• "-n": Specifies the number of blocks uploaded.

• "-x": Specifies the error code.

How ​​to check download progress

To get a better idea of ​​the download progress, you can use the following command:

bitcoind -t 10 -n 125600 -x 0 /path/to/bitcoin.conf

This will download the blockchain at 10 bps and 125,600 blocks. The "-x 0" flag is used to ignore errors that occur during the process.

Troubleshooting Tips

• 
  Bitcoind Installation Check: Make sure you have correctly installed Bitcoind on your Ubuntu server. Run "bitcoind --version" to check if it works as expected.
