Betanet with catchup

1

Betanet installation with fast catchup:

$ mkdir n_beta1
$ cd n_beta1
$ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/algorand/go-algorand-doc/master/downloads/installers/update.sh
$ chmod 544 update.sh
$ ./update.sh -i -c beta -p ~/n_beta1 -d ~/n_beta1/data -n
$ cd data
$ cp config.json.example config.json
$ nano config.json
algodev
CTRL/X
$ diff config.json.example config.json
23c23
<     "DNSBootstrapID": "<network>.algorand.network",
---
>     "DNSBootstrapID": "<network>.algodev.network",
$ cd  ..
$ ./goal node start -d data
$ BETANET_CATCHPOINT=`curl -s https://algorand-catchpoints.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/channel/betanet/latest.catchpoint`
$ ./goal node catchup $BETANET_CATCHPOINT -d data
$ ./goal node status -d data -w 1000

It works!

Could you please check what binary version you’re using, as well as operating system ?
i.e.

algod -v

Also, do you have any participation keys on the node ?

@tsachi , thanks for your help.
I have decided to reinstall the betanet node in directory n_beta1, see the steps above.
The old n_beta node still fails. I don’t think it is worth to investigate the failure any more.

~$ cd n_beta1
~/n_beta1$ ./algod -v
