Ersereum error code -28: Activate the best chain
Bitcoin and Ethereum are two different cryptocurrencies, but share some similarities. However, they have different blockchains and consensual algorithms. When you run the command as Bitcoin -Cli GetblockCount it is necessary to understand the error code ‘-28and its consequences.
Error code -28: Activate the best chains
Error code-28indicates that the best chain activation failed for one or more blocks in blockchain. This may happen for a variety of reasons including:
- In such cases, the "GetblockCount" command may not be able to load the required information.
- Node configuration : Configuration of the node of the running commandBitcoin-Cli
may not afford to load data from certain blocks.
- Blockchain Fork or Merge : If there is a fork or merger in blockchain, theGetblockCount
command may not be able to load data for specific blocks.
Solution of error code -28
To solve the error code-28you can try the following:
- Edit the nodes configuration : Check the node configuration and make sure that you allows you to load data from certain blocks.
- Check the blockchain fork or merger : If there is a blockchain fork or merger, you may have to wait until the new version of the blockchain will reconcile before starting the command.
- Disable the best activation of the string : try to disable the best chain activation and then re -enable it. This can help solve overload problems.
CLI command with error code -28
Here is an example of the CLI command that contains an error code-28:
Bash
$ Bitcoin-Cli GetblockCount-Best
`
In this command, we use the -best symptom to enable the best chain activation. If you come across an error code -28, it is likely that problems with the configuration of overload or node configuration.
Conclusion
Error code -28 indicates that data loading for one or more blocks in blockchain has failed for various reasons, such as limiting blockchain configuration or node configuration. To solve this problem, adjust the node configuration, check that there are no blockchain forks or merger and try to disable the best chain activation before re -permission. Be sure to wait until the new version of the blockchain is harmonized if necessary.
More tips
- Make sure you have enough disk space and memory to handle large blocks.
- Consider using a different node configuration that allows you to load data from specific blocks.
- Do the software in your current state to ensure compatibility with new versions of Bitcoin or Ethereum.
