Stuck on 'NIS is synchronizing'

Tech Support
#21

You do not need to run your own NIS locally. You can access your account by connecting to a remote NIS.

#22

Your NIS was running an outdated version for too long and now is stuck on a fork.
Shutdown NIS, delete the db, download db from bob.nem.ninja, then start nis again.

  1. Shutdown NIS.
  2. Delete the file nis5_mainnet.h2.db in the folder c:\users\ < your user > \nem\nis\data.
  3. Download bob.nem.ninja/nis5_mainnet-1129440.h2.db.zip
  4. Unzip into folder c:\users\ < your user > \nem\nis\data.
  5. Start NIS again.
  6. Let NIS sync the rest of the blockchain.
