When to manually call Start mining
- Under normal conditions, there is no need for you to call stop mining manually at all as the node calls this method instead of you during the shut-down process. However normal conditions are not always present and these few edge cases when you must call stop mining manually are described here
If node shut-down process fails
- When your node is shutting down, it automatically calls
stopMining
function on Lition Registry contract.
- In case something unexpected happens and
stopMining
is not called or other nodes did not receive AccountMining event with your account, you might end up in a situation when you are still registered as active validator in Lition Registry contract but in reality you are not mining anymore
- It is no big deal as you are going to be automatically removed from the list of active validators in Lition contract and unvoted by nodes after 2 notary windows during which you did not mine no block, but still you can and you should take care of this process by yourself and call
stopMining
manually in Lition sidechain manager.
- Go to the Interact with sidechain section in Lition sidechain manager
- Click on Mining
![mining]()
- And manually call
stopMining
even if the manager says: Your address is currently not mining.
