I checked ethereum source file, if request to authorize the client at the remote server failed, this warning message will be printed, and then sleep 10 seconds to retry. Maybe your network is bad or node server is down. Waiting some time to try it.

Hope it helps~

  • Yes you were correct I got this sorted out by giving --ethstats='yournode:Respect my [email protected]'

I had same error on rinkeby, while starting geth with option:

--ethstats='yournode:Respect my [email protected]'

After changing "yournode" to some unique name the problem was solved. 

--ethstats='<some_unique_name>:Respect my [email protected]'
