Daedalus: "Cardano node is not responding"

Hello there,

after downloading Daedalus 2.0 to import my ADA and start delegating, with success I must say, today when I wanted to open the wallet again to send some ADA to my wife, Daedalus gets stuck saying that the node is not responding.

Anybody else has the same issue?

Click RESTART CARDANO NODE. If that does no good you could try restarting the machine. As a last resort you could reinstall the software. Please note, it will take a while to sync and you won’t be able to do much/anything during that time.

Restarting the node didn’t work, nor restarting the computer. Neither did restarting the router.

Reinstalling without uninstalling first was not working, so removed completely Daedalus and now installing. Let’s see…

Well, now the blocks are syncing, but the option to restore my daedalus shelley wallet is disabled. I’m stuck without being able to use my ADA.

For those watching this post and having the same problem, do not try to uninstall and restore. At least with this wallet version you won’t be able to restore. So you would be stuck like I am waiting to check if after the full blockchain sync is completed it allows me to restore, or for the version where restoring Shelley wallets is enabled.

Just wait and see if it reconnects like some people say in other posts.

Finally, after the blockchain fully synchronized, I could restore my Shelley wallet.

Wow. I am waiting for mine to fish connecting to the network. I hope this works…

If this helps, just wait. I let mine sit at 0% for a decent amount of time and then it finally loaded. Their percent counter must be broken.

As kylesimon3 said. Yeah, it looks like their percent counter is broken.

I was having same problem however i noticed My PC was turning off into sleep mode after 20 minutes so i think that was interupting node etc. Try restarting your pc and disabling any sleep mode power auto shut off switch etc maybe even pop up blockers who knows it worked for me… Took about 2 hrs to download blockchain.

i had the same problem but was sorted thanks to this smart-ass to whom I’m very grateful!

Today is Aug 16, 2021 almost a full year from this most resent post, and the same problem is still being had with the official core wallet of this project. No savy crypto enthusiast is going to take this project seriouly, even though the concept has great merit, when you can not even fix the syncing problem of the core wallet for the users. NOT GOOD AT ALL. I had great hopes for this project, and now I must reconsider. A buggy wallet is truly slowing down the value growth of this project.
