I'm not sure why this was linked. Parity decided to stop developing their Ethereum client and this repo has been sitting unmaintained for about 2 years now, it will almost certainly not successfully sync with mainnet. The Parity codebase was taken over by new maintainers and turned into OpenEthereum: https://github.com/openethereum/openethereum https://github.com/openethereum/openethereum However, writing and maintaining an Ethereum client is an exceptional amount of work with very little benefit, the primary OpenEthereum maintainers recently announced they would stop maintaining OpenEthereum and would start pouring their energies into an upcoming client called Erigon. https://medium.com/openethereum/gnosis-joins-erigon-formerly-turbo-geth-to-release-next-gen-ethereum-client-c6708dd06dd https://medium.com/openethereum/gnosis-joins-erigon-formerly... Erigon is a much better client.
