Update on the IFPS side of things: after repeated failures of the downloaded UTXO disabling the IPFS and trying BCHD --fastsync again seems to run smooth. perhaps I misconfigured the IPFS. yuk
An update after learning what was occurring: GOLANG runs both IPFS and BCHD. Nice language but it leads to huge memory problems. Guzzles ram with zero regard for system limits.
BCHD seems to require swap ++ serious memory to get through certain bits of the blockchain. IPFS devs still hear issues with IPFS simply not having self-discipline. Such as it is.
Nope. BCHD continuously re-verifies the IPFS UTXO 3g data, Downloading it over and over and over guzzling bandwidth all the way into an infinite loop. It never stops or indicates.
Two servers - both Stretch, both fully updated, and GO is the same version. Laptop works, but ignores -ALL- MEMO TX, The VPS fails. Recompiled BCHD still never-ending -fastsync
