I used geth to sync the blocks in mainnet, but the sync last for a long time.
eth.syncing shows the current block is 6154852, near the highest block. But eth.blockNumber shows 0. Why does this happen? And will the sync finish?

You are doing a fast sync, which is not complete until the entire state trie has been retrieved. This process takes a long longer than syncing the blocks themselves.

As of July 29th, there 181,012,156 state entires. You're currently around 50m. It will take a few days to catch up

  • Thanks Raghav, I see. When can I get the current count of state entires? – Foreso Aug 16 '18 at 08:01
  • There is no way to get the latest count, no one really knows. The github issue I linked to occasionally has people post the latest count they saw on a given date. – Raghav Sood Aug 16 '18 at 08:05
