Currently, I am following the recommendation of running a full node on my desktop with bitcoind; it has most of the blockchain downloaded (~680000 blocks) and is not pruned. Then I have two laptops that I will be running bitcoin-qt on that will only connect to my full node. Unfortunately, I am having trouble with bitcoind sending the index and blocks to the inbound connections from the bitcoin-qt laptops. My configuration files, node info, and peer info are included below. Thanks for your suggestions.
desktop bitcoind /etc/bitcoin.conf
rpcauth=root:****** rpcauth=_bitcoind:****** [main] [test] [signet] [regtest]
laptop bitcoin-qt ~/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf
connect=192.168.1.197:8333
desktop bitcoind daemon control script /etc/rc.d/bitcoind
#!/bin/ksh

# $OpenBSD: bitcoind.rc,v 1.2 2018/07/15 22:03:50 bentley Exp $
daemon="/usr/local/bin/bitcoind"
daemon_timeout="300"
daemon_user="_bitcoind"
datadir="/home/bitcoin"
conf="/etc/bitcoin.conf"
daemon_flags="-daemon -conf=$conf -datadir=${datadir}"
. /etc/rc.d/rc.subr
rc_reload=NO
rc_cmd $1bitcoin-cli -getinfo to bitcoind on the desktop, it returns:
{ "version": 210100, "blocks": 684628, "headers": 718323, "verificationprogress": 0.90065025371744, "timeoffset": -1, "connections": { "in": 2, "out": 1, "total": 3 }, "proxy": "", "difficulty": 25046487590083.27, "chain": "main", "relayfee": 0.00001000, "warnings": ""
}When I run getpeerinfo in the bitcoin-qt console, I get:
[ { "id": 0, "addr": "192.168.1.197:8333", "addrbind": "192.168.1.174:58377", "network": "not_publicly_routable", "services": "0000000000000409", "servicesnames": [ "NETWORK", "WITNESS", "NETWORK_LIMITED" ], "relaytxes": true, "lastsend": 1642006419, "lastrecv": 1642006299, "last_transaction": 0, "last_block": 0, "bytessent": 693, "bytesrecv": 18317, "conntime": 1642005880, "timeoffset": 0, "pingtime": 0.002229, "minping": 0.001617, "pingwait": 6.439448, "version": 70016, "subver": "/Satoshi:0.21.1/", "inbound": false, "bip152_hb_to": false, "bip152_hb_from": false, "startingheight": 684595, "synced_headers": -1, "synced_blocks": -1, "inflight": [ ], "addr_processed": 1003, "addr_rate_limited": 0, "permissions": [ ], "minfeefilter": 0.09170997, "bytessent_per_msg": { "feefilter": 32, "getaddr": 24, "getheaders": 93, "ping": 160, "pong": 96, "sendaddrv2": 24, "sendcmpct": 66, "sendheaders": 24, "verack": 24, "version": 126, "wtxidrelay": 24 }, "bytesrecv_per_msg": { "addrv2": 17773, "feefilter": 32, "ping": 96, "pong": 128, "sendaddrv2": 24, "sendcmpct": 66, "sendheaders": 24, "verack": 24, "version": 126, "wtxidrelay": 24 }, "connection_type": "manual" }
] It seems that the whole blockchain has to be synced before it will send the index and blocks to inbound requests.
