What does this mean? I'm trying to work with signet to review some prs and I'm getting a fair amount of errors.

  • Is it verifying signet blocks to tip or is it stalling/exiting with these errors? Signet blocks are signed by one of the Signet administrators so it must be related to this. Can't yet find the error message in the code though. (I'm assuming this is the default signet and you aren't trying to set up a custom signet that you control) – Michael Folkson Sep 09 '22 at 09:55
  • Yes I'm using default signet. I'm going to try and reproduce it today. – Kaizen Sep 09 '22 at 17:48

You have entered incomplete name in the -chain config option and error is thrown by CreateBaseChainParams()

Incorrect:

$ bitcoind -chain=sig
Error: CreateBaseChainParams: Unknown chain sig.

Correct:

$ bitcoind -chain=signet

You can also use -signet=1 instead of -chain=signet.
