The “micro” settings on Google cloud don’t seem to work. I can’t get the node to snyc. I upgraded to “small” and I was mining in 10 mins. Is there anything I am missing to get the micro settings to work? Has anyone else had success with them recently?
Each attempt on micro stopped working at block 567511

@- Zebra - you can get around this by making a swap file
2GB worked for me
it will be slower than having to change/upgrade the instance. I just let the make run overnight in a screen, done and sync’d in the morning
maybe admin could add how to add swapfile info into build instructions?

#to create a bigger swap (this case 2GB) sudo fallocate -l 2000M /mnt/2000MB.swap sudo mkswap /mnt/2000MB.swap sudo swapon /mnt/2000MB.swap sudo chmod 600 /mnt/2000MB.swap sudo nano /etc/fstab
#add this: /mnt/2000MB.swap none swap sw 0 0 #as the last line and exit with save
…check with:
free --mega
to modify the config.json you can use the search box here in discord, or go to the day 18th March here in #general(edited)

Can admin pin these msgs? Someone else is bound to ask for that
