I'm not sure if Geth even provides unstable versions. Some projects provide nightly builds or other versions which are simply the latest code version which might not be stable but all the more public versions are supposed to be stable. You can find the latest version information here: https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/releases so just take the version 1.9.13 (latest at the time of writing) and it should work just fine.

The same is true for both light and fast sync modes.

  • when I go to the geth's terminal and type seth.syncing I see that currentBlock stayed stuck currentBlock: 9199934, highestBlock: 9199999, knownStates: 265726802, pulledStates: 265693765, startingBlock: 9199934 } – andrew007 May 12 '20 at 19:49
  • Now @LauriPeltonen now I got, my light node working like a charm and waiting for the fast sync mode node, but there is a constraint that can no do a light node, what others do? – andrew007 May 12 '20 at 21:25
  • You can't mine on a light node, for example. Here are more details: https://ethereum.stackexchange.com/questions/5975/what-are-the-types-of-nodes-in-ethereum – Lauri Peltonen May 13 '20 at 05:36
  • ok, thanks a lot, @Lauri Peltonen I already have my light nodes working but in fast sync mode does not work the version of geth 1.9.3 that you told me. I got these settings Geth Version: 1.9.13-stable Architecture: amd64 Protocol Versions: [65 64 63] Go Version: go1.13 Operating System: linux GOPATH= GOROOT=/usr/local/go and I already downloaded all blockchain without errors or stoping the sync, but at the end does not work, show me all tx details by by hash or other operations but wallet's balance = 0 does not work :( – andrew007 May 14 '20 at 04:55
  • Well that is a separate issue. Your original question was about what version is stable and I answered that. Please post a new question if you have further problems – Lauri Peltonen May 14 '20 at 06:16
