This seems to be a disk IO error. Are you running fednode on hardware or in a VM? Is your hard drive an SSD? This issue seems to pop up on EBS-backed AWS instances. Also, have you let bitcoin and bitcoin-testnet sync fully before starting up indexd and indexd-testnet? > ---

Thanks for the reply. Yes the Fednode is running on metal not VM, while both blockchains are fully synced. I figured it would be the HDD as it is ofc much slower and gets overwhelmed., I will move the Os etc…to a SSD and only use the HDD for the data\_Volumes. I will try if I can get the fednode to run fully only on testnet first. I have Bitcoin-testnet, indexd-testnet, armory-utxsvr-testnet and counterparty-testnet all synced running, Counterblock-testnet gives the following error when starting it up after all are synced:

GeoIP was discontinued and we should be using GeoLite2 shortly after this PR is merged. > You can get the existing GeoIP.dat file from [http://j-dog.net/misc/GeoIP.dat](http://j-dog.net/misc/GeoIP.dat) to get things working again place the file in /root/.local/share/counterblock/ in your counterblock docker container. ---

This looks like an indexd communication issue. Indexd needs to be up and fully synced before starting up Counterparty. You can check the status of indexd via http://IP\_ADDRESS:8332/status The response will look something like this ```auto { "chainBlock": 573417, "indexBlock": 573417, "network": "mainnet", "blocksBehind": 0, "ready": true } ``` Once your indexd shows “ready”:true, then try restarting counterparty and see if you still have communication issues between counterparty and indexd. ---

> [@jeroensbel](#): > > 3ecfd580d5ef4f42bde272c86468d46f71458bc7dff383fd5baa04ffb86a3250 A quick search for this TX shows a previous issue open at [https://github.com/CounterpartyXCP/counterparty-lib/issues/1022](https://github.com/CounterpartyXCP/counterparty-lib/issues/1022) You might want to try using the counterparty bootstrap image rather than re-parsing all the transactions from 5+ years ago to build the CP database tx by tx. You should be able to download the bootstrap images via ```auto rm ~/fednode/data/counterparty/counterparty.db rm ~/fednode/data/counterparty/counterparty.testnet.db fednode restart counterparty counterparty-testnet ``` That should remove he CP database, and restart counterparty, which will then download the latest bootstrap images which have all transactions parsed through 2018 and part of 2019. ---

Thanks J-dog Downloading bootstrap db´s as I write. I still have not been able to let indexd and my core node talk, I need to have it set up this way as the 1Tb drive has filled itself up with the full counterparty stack and the 2 full blockchains, indexes, etc. I had to delete the counterparty bitcoin node. I have send a private message to chiguireitor but no response yet.
