known devnet validators

Question

Is this this right list of known devnet validators to start with? I'm starting one, but ending up over 135k blocks behind to start with.

Answer 1

This is correct for devnet per https://docs.solana.com/clusters#example-solana-validator-command-line. If you're ending up so far behind to start, you may be getting an old snapshot, or the hardware may not be enough.

Either way, be sure to use the same version as the devnet nodes, which is 1.14.16 as of this writing:

$ solana validators --url devnet
...
