Hello Cardanians!
I have built 3 Cardano nodes on Mainnet:
1x Offline Cold for Keys.
1x Relay Node (Online, Connected & Live)
1x Node Getting Prepped as a Block Producer. (Online, Connected & Live)
The nodes have been synching for about 24 hours now.
I’ve been following instructions here in order to generate a wallet and have send 9 ADA to it to verify it works. I can see the 9 ADA on the blockchain explorer, but I can’t seem to query any wallet address, even address I have used a while ago. I keep getting this output on all nodes:
cardano@cnode$ 01_queryAddress.sh myWallet
Version-Info: cli 1.26.0 / node 1.26.0 Scripts-Mode: online
Checking UTXOs of Address-File myWallet.addr: <wallet_address_redacted>
Address-Type / Era: payment / shelley
No funds on the Address!
Alternatively, when I try:
cardano@cnode$ cardano-cli query utxo --shelley-era --mainnet --address <redacted_wallet.addr>
TxHash TxIx Amount
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
cardano@cnode$
So I am wondering what is going on here? Do the nodes take a long time to synch?
Should I wait a bit longer? Any input welcome?
Thanks,
Steve
I think I just answered my own question. Node sync is not complete. 
But it is… we are in epoch 255
I only see that u installed 1.26.0 version which has not been released yet… please try to install 1.25.1 version

Thanks Alex,
So I left it running overnight on 1.26.0 and the balance check works. So I thought I would then try and pay the pool deposit, but got another error so I have now compiled 1.25.1 binaries.
I have a couple of local instances on Mainnet running nodes that I deploy on before I do on Live.
So on both of these instances I have stopped the CNODE service, replaced the 1.26.0 binary with 1.25.1 binary and started the service. However it seems to hang in starting mode on gLive view without syncing:
So on one instance I deleted the contents of the DB folder and it started synching from scratch.
Given that this takes a long time to sync, I would have thought there might be a quicker way for it to just pick up where it left off?
Does this occur (a complete re-sync) every time there is a binary upgrade?
Is there a way around this to get it to pick up where it left off without a complete resync like this?
Thanks,
Steve
UPDATE: After about 15 minutes it started syncing again but is now at Epoch 223… Still a long time to sync just for a binary replace. ?
UPDATE 2:
There seems to a be a lot of block replay messages it is iterating through with a percentage:

Any idea what this is doing after binary replace and restart?
Cheers,

Hello,
Given that this takes a long time to sync, I would have thought there might be a quicker way for it to just pick up where it left off?
I don’t think so, I also observed that syncing the shelley era (starting with epoch 223) it will take more time
Does this occur (a complete re-sync) every time there is a binary upgrade?
Nope, the DB should not be affected during update
Is there a way around this to get it to pick up where it left off without a complete resync like this?
usually when u stop/start the node the sync will continue from the last block/slot
After about 15 minutes it started syncing again but is now at Epoch 223… Still a long time to sync just for a binary replace. ?
Should not happen; are u sure it was 100% synced before to replace the binary?
Any idea what this is doing after binary replace and restart?
TBH I don’t know…
I hope your pool is up and running now
Cheers,
