FAQ

I'm getting the error with code -28 and the message "Loading block index..." or "Calculating missing accumulators...", what do I do? It is normal to get these errors when you just installed your masternode. The wallet needs some time to synchronize with the downloaded blockchain. Wait a few minutes and check the status again with xbi-cli getinfo.

If you don't see status 4

Check if your wallet is syncing with xbi-cli getinfo. If your wallet is stuck, use the commands wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nashscly/XBI/master/xbi_stuck_fix.sh, and bash xbi_stuck_fix.sh to use a bootstrap. Wait a few minutes and check the status again with xbi-cli getinfo If your wallet is on the correct block, use xbi-cli stop and systemctl start XBI.service to restart the service. Wait until xbi-cli mnsync status returns true on everything but the "isFailed" Retry starting the masternode from you local wallet.
