Is it possible to keep bitcoind running with the blockchain synced up to only a certain height? I am currently using bitcoind to do some transaction analysis on a small part of the blockchain. However, after the local copy of the blockchain reaches the -stopatheight value, it quits. Is there a way to keep it running at that height? Or do I need to sync the full blockchain to keep it running? I want to keep it running so that I can run the bitcoin-cli and perform a few RPC calls
You can run with -connect=0. If it's not connected to anything, it can't sync further.
