I use Monero 'Lithium Luna' (v0.12.3.0-release) CLI only.

I would really like to know the meaning of a status command output line like this: Height: 146124/146124 (100.0%) on stagenet, mining at 36 H/s, net hash 268 H/s, v7, up to date, 8(out)+0(in) connections, uptime 0d 0h 11m 57s

I could not find anything specific.

In fact everything is clear to me but the following:

  • V7
  • 8(out)+0(in) connections

What I am really interested in is the meaning of V7, since I also have daemons running (same monero release) which show V1 instead and they continuously produce lines like these:

[94.19.172.18:51393 INC] Sync data returned a new top block candidate: 136994 -> 250777 [Your node is 113783 blocks (79 days) behind]

or

[207.180.196.236:57862 INC] peer claims higher version that we think (9 for 232290 instead of 7) - we may be forked from the network and a software upgrade may be needed

v1 means the blockchain is currently at version 1. v7 means it's at version 7. If the blockchain is syncing (as shown by monerod telling you it's currently 79 days behind), it'll show the version at the point it's reached so far. At this time, the network should be at version 7.

The "peer claims higher version that we think" message is telling you that a peer on the network is running a later version. Normally, this means that the Monero network updated, and you will need to also update your software in order to be able to sync past that point. However, since the current version on stagenet is v7, it looks like it's just someone having made local modifications, making your node see the new version and thinking it's late, where in fact it's not.

"8(out)+0(in) connections" tells you the number of peer to peer connections your node currently has, sorted by whether your node initiated them, or whether a peer initiated them. If the second number is 0, it mean peers cannot find your node, so your connections to the Monero network is more fragile. You may want to check your router and/or firewall to allow peers to connect to the P2P port (in this case, for stagenet, it is 38081, and it'd be 18081 for mainnet).
