      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 ?

        @engetsu I thought the thing that took time is not the download, but the processing.

          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.

                          and to be honest I check those hash numbers by one by not all of them I dont know why it says Orphan

                            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.

                                            Could do with a recent one being created.
