My geth node is sync'd but in the console, I don't see any pending transactions. Wanting to find a way to peek at pending transactions that other nodes have shared with my node.

Perhaps it is because my node has not fully sync'd yet. Not sure how to confirm if that's the case.

> eth.getBlock('pending', true).transactions
[]
>
> eth.getBlock('pending', true).transactions
[]
> txpool.content
{
  pending: {},
  queued: {}
}
> txpool.status
{
  pending: 0,
  queued: 0
}

  • What does eth.blockNumber returns?

  • @Ismael It's zero. Is that indicating initial fast sync has not completed, and how do I tell how much is left for fast sync? I have: Imported new block headers count=171 elapsed=419.093ms number=5343443 hash=b54eae…787209 ignored=0 ... and Imported new state entries count=2304 elapsed=8.641ms processed=83043397 pending=9920 retry=0 duplicate=0 unexpected=0 ... and Imported new state entries count=1674 elapsed=6.888ms processed=83045071 pending=9888 retry=0 duplicate=0 unexpected=0.

  • Yes, your node has not finished syncing. If you have an SSD it should take less than a couple of days.

  • @Ismael I do but it's taken longer than that. Is there any way to tell how far along it is?

  • You can use eth.syncing to check progress, but I'm afraid in last release of geth it will erroneously show as synced whenit still didn't finish .
