Did you power of via menu or just plugged out?😅

Menu yes, then the interface stopped loading up so I went on and unplugged it then, lights hadn't stopped but it was taking a while and I wasn't sure if it was finished or not and really wanted that pad put on lol prob wasn't the greatest idea but it seemed to be taking a long time, since then it just shows that it's starting services on the web interface never getting to the app menu

Just this for almost 2 hours now lol

Yeah, but how did you power off? Maybe there s something broken in your data bases

Used the menu, Im just not sure if it 100% powered down or not, the lights on the pi were still on but I was no longer able to log onto it. Gave it some time and unplugged. Your prob right, I gotta learn to have more patience is likely my problem ha. Does this help at all? Rolling forward blocks? Is it just checking what I have downloaded? Not sure what's going on in startup status..

Ok awesome thank you so much. Glad I didn't inadvertently ruin something haha

At least we ve found out that it seems your issue is known, though this is from a few years ago. Syncing and maintenance can take a lot of time and I d personally recommend #Raspiblitz or #Umbrel for beginners.

I would wait for a few days and if it's still not working I d start from scratch again. When the chain is synced, you might like to do a backup of your synced blockchain just in case or set up a second node anyway. 🤗🫂
