Node unexpectedly shut down without any errors

I’m trying to sync a full Bitcoin Knots node, but it just closed itself outta nowhere... no error messages or anything. Anyone know where I can find the log to see what happened?

You should check this file location for logs. Not sure about the fork, but it should be in the same spot as Bitcoin Core. That’s usually where the debug logs are stored.

Sounds like it might be running out of resources. Can you share your PC specs and OS? Sometimes on Windows, if a program uses too much RAM, it just shuts off to keep things stable. It could also be a hard drive issue if there are bad sectors. Did you adjust the DBcache recently? Just a tip: don’t set it higher than your RAM, or it might crash your system.

Nah, Bitcoin Knots isn't just a fork; it’s an alternative full node software. Besides running out of memory, could be a segmentation fault. But that’s usually linked to hardware issues. I doubt that's the case since you’d typically see an error in the debug log or a pop-up message if you’re using the GUI.

Did you launch it from the console? If not, try that. Keep the console open and see if it shows any output before it closes.
