Hello, I’m just trying to setup to mine Grin. I installed Grin, Grin wallet and Grin++ on a windows laptop. I typed grin in a Windows command prompt. In the window that popped up it says “current Sync step 1/7: Downloading” , it has been that way for 2 days. Is that normal ? Should it finish and go to step 2 ? For Status it changes from 99% to 0% and sometimes 100%. In the log file there are errors about grin::servers:
:sync::header_sync - failed to ban peer ( different ips) peerNotfound. Is that notmal ? Thanks for any helpful advice.

You mean to mine Grin with your laptop? it looks impossible as the laptop is too weak to mine.
In case you just want to run a Grin node, it will normally take 2 hours to sync all the data.

This sometimes happens. Just quit the node, start it again and it will continue. If it happens again for some reason, again restart the node. It is an ill understood bug, I have synced many times without it happening and other times had to kill grin node and restart it multiple times.
Are you running Testnet by any chance?
