I updated everything on mine about an hour ago. No issues.

But if I'd seen your post first, I probably would have waited a bit longer to update!

Hope the re-install fixes you up.

Just for the sake of my own curiosity.... did you ever get things straightened out?

Funny you should ask. As I said, I uninstalled bitcoin core, LND, and electrs. Well, I decided to completely uninstall all of my server apps too, and just use the device for my node. Core synced quickly and is running fine. LND, on the other hand, is now continually restarting like core had been. Since I didn't get to the point of opening any channels, I will probably wipe the drive and start again. I checked the hardware. It seems to be functioning fine.

Did you check the LND logs?

This past week I set up a new Start9 node, and LND would NOT connect to any peers to sync the chain. A full week went by and it just kept giving the same log error.

I finally resolved it by manually adding it as a peer to my primary node. Once LND had one peer to talk to, it was able to sync within a few hours. Simple.

Maybe it's the same issue you're having? If so, you can add my node as a peer if you want. Just DM me.

Also, I had tons of issues with LND syncing when I was using one of Start9's raspberry Pi nodes from a few years back. It was not powerful enough, and the Start9 team told me so straight up. That's probably why they stopped selling those low powered machines. Can you imagine if we were trying to run BCH nodes?! Fucking nightmarish.

Thanks for the advice! I have another node, so I will give it a try. Just so you know, I'm using a Start9 server, which should be powerful enough.
