Replay or Resync with Full History

Overview

This guide explains how to replay or resync your node so that it captures the entire blockchain history. Following these steps will allow you to reconstruct the full chain state, including every historical transaction.

Prerequisites

• You have a local instance of nodeop launched but not running - pidof nodeop should return nothing.
• You are familiar with state_history_plugin.

Steps

Step 1

Get a blocks.log and place it in data/blocks.

If you cannot get a third-party blocks.log, you can use the genesis file and pass the --genesis-json option when starting nodeop in Step 3.

Step 2

Remove data/state and use the --replay-blockchain option.

Step 3

Start nodeop with the options listed in the state_history_plugin
