Hello everyone, i’ve read many helpful topics on this site so I hope you can help me too. I’m setting up the block producer node, after generating the node.cert and required keys, I relaunched the service following the coincashew guide (step 9). Node seems synced with the blockchain, however the node tip doesn’t update regularly. If I restart the service, it does update the tip upon restart, but not every few seconds (like the relay node), so as time goes by the node is getting desynced cardano-cli query tip --mainnet displays the same outdated node tip. I don’t think this is the expected behavior, but I couldn’t find any info on it. should i worry? ---

i think you have no problem to synch… please use topologyupdater on relay, and check deeper about your TXs, you have no TXs… ---

and if you are post your current status of your nodes, you run old version, which must be updated. ---

Thanks for the info, I’m concerned about building/making the transactions on a node that only syncs upon restart, my guess is that’s why no TX yet. Sync is down now to (99.9%) ---
