Wallet slow to sync

wrapper

This has been a major support issue, the new version 0.9.6.2 coming out should make it a lot quicker. I will not be sad not to see sync issues problems a thing of the past.

@acidd I downloaded this file but am running the wallet on my mac. I tried to find the library on my mac but can’t find it. Is it the same dbase and where should I save it on a mac?

My wallet is synchronising but running for a full week now. Checking the debug window/networktraffic it shows block being send and received of 40KB/s.
My bandwidth is about 45Mbps down.
1.719.992 blocks done.

Thanks

You need to go here:

~/Library/Application Support/Feathercoin/

If you’re on MacOS you can either try this Bootstrap.dat file or you can wait a day or two - we are going to release 0.9.6.2 which has a much faster sync than 0.9.6.1

I downloaded the updated wallet but it’s still extremely slow to sync. Did I do something wrong when updating? Uninstalled 0.9.6.1 64bit before installing 0.9.6.2 32bit and kept the appdata folder as it was

Wellenreiter

no, you did everything right.

with version 0.9.6.2 the sync still needs several hours to complete

Follow this procedure to open your Library folder:
Click your “username”
Go to Finder and click “Go”
Press the “Alt” button and you’ll see “Library” appearing
Click on “Library” while holding “Alt” button
“Library” folder opens and go to “Application Support” folder
Look for your “Feathercoin” folder

This is for MacOS only. And not windows 32bit

@acidd
That’s correct

Thank you to everyone in this thread - I am working through the same issues and using this thread to move the process of sync my wallet. Sync Feather = right of passage ;)

Hi,

the link to https://ufile.io/8ysgb is not longer valid (unless you subscribe to their premium contract). Can someone republish it please?

I’m on 0.9.6.2, but sync is still only half way through (block 1023813) after 24hrs…

You are past any problems in the sync. Even if you download blockdat, it still has to be checked by the system, which is the thing that takes time.

It’s been running for a week now… block 1770805… this is ridiculuous…

I have dozens of wallets in other altcoins… none of them took longer than a day.

Are you ate your PC now, is the wallet open? can you click on, settings, debug window, console tab,

then type

getinfo

then :

getpeerinfo

May help diagnose why you are slow.

I posted earlier in this thread. one of the main reasons why the sync is so slow is that Feathercoin was attacked a lot in the early days in 2013/2014 that caused a few orphan chains on the network that have to be processed.

Your wallet currently -or at the time you got the list of peers- syncronizes with this node : “46.127.12.33:9336”

Try to close the wallet and start again.

This has been reported to get hanging synchronizations to move again.

After starting the wallet again, you can check that the wallet uses a different node to download data.

This is reflected in the ‘syncnode’ flag of the peers.

@wellenreiter
Thanks for the info , i closed and opened it many times and it still hangs there , on information tab i number of connections see 10 ( in = 0 / out = 10 )

When i restart , i always get a different address showing True but it stays hanging .

What do i do now ?

Hi @engetsu,

I had the same issue on Ubuntu and Win. I went here http://cryptochainer.com/dir/?page_id=881
and downloaded the .zip
Close your wallet, copy the files into the Data Folder (maybe backup the old ones, just in case…). Start your Wallet and you should only be come days behind. Wallet quickly syncs and you are good…

Hope this helps!!

@phlosen

thanks for the link but the idea of me getting the core is to havea safe wallet . Downloading something from a site for my wallet does not really seem secure .

Also why can’t this core wallet work like it’s suppose to ? why so many bugs and so much time to sync.

i deleted everything and re installed the program and it’s been 3 days now on continuous connection on a 30 MB internet speed .

I’m at 1 year and 17 weeks behind , is it suppose to take this much time ?
