When starting a new lightning node that's connected to a pruned bitcoind node, I get a flood of log messages like:
2018-03-27T10:29:59.549Z lightningd(12118): bitcoin-cli getblock 000000000000000000075750b9d433983830f4560044e4977b10b100668e6509? exited with status 1
This seems to go on for quite a while. I can't tell if it's going in circles or fetching blocks in random order.
It would seem more efficient to call getblockchaininfo
, check if pruned
is true
and then use pruneheight
to know which blocks not to ask for.
