Hi,

I’m looking to get some support for libbitcoin.

I downloaded the library, built the examples and ran the full node app. Everything looked fine until around block 264000, when it started to slow down.

Now its is fully blocked and doesn’t do anything but output lines similar to this:

bash-3.2$ ./fullnode

I’ve tried restarting the full node app multiple times. I’ve also tried deleting and recreating the leveldb directory twice now. It always either hangs or fails around this point. I have my open files limit increased to 10000. this is on OSX 10.9.

Thanks!
