This is a bit annoying.

We currently have a few poor error messages in our latest release and you seem to be hitting both.

The first problem about the `sync` is safe to ignore. It is a code-path that is designed for wallet recovery and you shouldn’t use it. We have merged a fix but didn’t release it (yet).

The second issue about is about `boarding`. We have changed the behavior of the server to only allow using `vtxos` once their funding transaction has been confirmed onchain.

When you try to spend them you will get an error message. You can wait a block and the error message will disappear. The current error message is a bit misleading though.

Great thanks it works. Now, is there a block explorer for signet second has ? Just wondering how often transactions are confirmed on-chain

It is the standard signet.

You can use [mempool - Bitcoin Explorer](https://mempool.space/signet) and see your transactions appear on the chain.

You are sharing an onchain UTXO with multiple other users.

Or tooling is a little bit limited. In the next release you will be able to see an `onchain_anchor` which lists the UTXO.
