This allows linking up, downloading and syncing with the Chia blockchain.
Connect to other peers
chia show -a node.chia.net:8444 chia show -a node-eu.chia.net:8444

rm ~/.chia/mainnet/wallet/db/*
NOTE: Then:
- Close Chia.
- Restart Chia.
Start the Wallet

Show the Wallet
chia wallet show
NOTE: It should prompt to load from backup or skip.
- Choose Skip S.
The wallet will resync.
Modify the Chia Config
Edit ~/.chia/mainnet/config/config.yaml.
- Search for weight_proof_timeout.
- Increase it from 180 to 400.
NOTE: If that value is not there, you can add it under the full_node section.
It can take a few minutes to start receiving peers and several hours to completely sync.
