Bitcoin Core Doesn't Appear To Be Syncing

HP EliteDesk 705 mini PC; not really sure about the specs on the CPU and RAM. Think it’s 8GB ram.

I did another re-index blockchain and I’m in the 30s now

Hopefully it will get through. Not sure what’s going in here. It might be that your hardware is not keeping up, or it could be some kind of intermittent network issue. Let’s hope it works this time

This is as far as I’ve gotten… I’ll just keep re-indexing my way to 100%… lol

What is the RPC server?

RPC or Remote Procedure Call is a way for different systems to talk to each other. For Bitcoin, RPC can be used to allow a wallet (like Sparrow) to connect to your Bitcoin node for checking balances on addresses, submitting transactions etc.

Whatever is getting it stuck on Starting or causing looping back to starting is going to be explained in the logs (Bitcoin Core → Logs)

But if it keeps happening over and over, there’s something seriously wrong somewhere… from an unstable internet situation… to an unstable power situation… to a bad disk.
