wait for zebrad or zcashd to reach sapling activation height
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This has been broken for a long time. If, when starting up, lightwalletd
discovers that the backend node (zebrad or zcashd) has not yet synced to
the Sapling activation height (419200 for mainnet, 280000 for testnet),
it should wait until that happens, then sync along with the backend
node. But instead, lightwalletd gets stuck indefinitely. The only way
to escape the hang is to stop and restart lightwalletd.

This commit fixes the problem; the block ingestor retries every 2
minutes (which was always the intention), rather than trying once and
then giving up.
