I'm new to running a full bitcoin node. After almost a week I could download the entire blockchain. My computer is running 24/7 to support the cause. When I tried to verify some old transactions that I have in the Bitcoin Core's console (version 0.20.1) I receive some error that I don't understand and my searches didn't help me resolve this issue.
I run this code in the console: getrawtransaction transaction ID true
I paste the IDs for my past transactions
This code returns an error message saying:
No such mempool transaction. Use -txindex or provide a block hash to enable blockchain transaction queries. Use gettransaction for wallet transactions. (code -5)
It is worth mentioning that I don't use Bitcoin Core's wallet.I use a third-party wallet.
I created the bitcoin.conf file as follows (placed in ~/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf) :
txindex=1
When I ran the bitcoin-qt I got the error message:
Error: Prune mode is incompatible with -txindex.
I was wondering if someone could help me resolve this issue?
Thanks
