      My tests showed the sync with 0.9.6.2 took consistently ~25 hours, using the blockdata.dat - a fast PC with > 16 GB RAM.

      Can I ask what PC you are using? memory / clock speed?

        im doing it from my laptop , i3 with 8gig of ram , ssd .

        So woke up today and i think it finished syncing , fire up feathercoin app and now i get an error message saying "connect a new block to chainactive , failed to read block " .and then shutsdown

        Tha hell is wrong with this wallet why is it only problems , what are the devs going to do if it ever becomes mainstream and everyone wants to buy themselves some FTC .

        i uninstalled and re installed but i still get the message . Do i have to delete everything again and download restart the whole process again ?

          @engetsu - I deleted the swearing as this is a highjack of someone else welcome thread.

          You can try : Start the client with the -reindex command-line option.

          Otherwise yes, the bitcoin programmers have included error checking in the code that you sometimes have to do something about , sorry.

            @engetsu - I appreciate your frustration. We are working to sort out all of these sync issues in our next release.

            if you’re on windows…

            • make a shortcut to feathercoin-qt on your desktop
            • right click and click properties
            • add the following to the end of the Target path

            "C:\Program Files\Feathercoin\feathercoin-qt.exe" -maxorphantx=5000 -maxblockorphans=12000 -dbcache=4096 -rescan

            let us know how you get on.

                Could you please go into more detail?

                “Doesn’t work” makes it hard for us to provide support.

                        Hi @Anema

                        this is the expected behaviour. You just need to leave your machine on and set it to not go onto standby or sleep mode.

                        Leaving it on for 1 week 24/7 - and you can guarantee it’s been online that whole time… then something else might be wrong with your setup.

                        The orphan blocks are blocks that have to be processed - in the past Feathercoin had attacks on it’s blockchain and this caused orphan chains to happen.

                          I think from now on the best thing to do just leave the computer open . About my setting I have no idea I just downloaded the setup and then Install it . I dont think I have a problem with my firewall or anything else. Ty for the info btw

                            I did a try from fresh, for the sake of benchmarking and potential useful info.
                            So far, 36 weeks behind @2days 19hours, will report in upon completion.

                                          Ok, reporting in.
                                          Tested fresh download, install and sync.
                                          The sync ended last night (i was sleeping at the time), time now is +4d10h, so the sync stopped at about ~ +4d5h

                                          The sync was done on an HP TM2-2190,
                                          gpu is Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 4500MHD (it has a switchable ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4550 gpu but i wanted it to run cooler if it was about to stay on for a long time).
                                          Energy cpu profile was min5% max 100%.
                                          Resource monitoring showed an average cpu usage of
                                          core1: ~20% and core2: ~70%

                                          Internet connection is an ADSL2+ synced at 19mbps down/1mpbs up
                                          Internet interruption occured once a day - based on my router scheduling
                                          Internet outages - only Isp and God knows, forgot not to auto flush router log, sorry

                                            It is the CPU that matters, HP TM2-2190 is quite a “slow” (1.2GHz) notebook laptop. The 50% average CPU usage shows why it took 4 1/2 days…
