Hey guys I'm getting frustrated with SDC. The wallet is slow and crashes constantly. I've been downloading the blockchain for 4 days now and it's only at 15%. I read the whitepaper and got excited about the tech and put over $400 into it at 74k, only to watch the price go down to 61k today. I'm on iOS X is this going to get better? I can't "cut my losses". It looks like I'm locked in this for seemingly forever... I'm sort of waking up to the trends on Bittrex now... one day it's TRON the next day it's CRAVE and then today it's some new coin called 8Bit. I thought I was investing in new and innovative tech, sort of like how bitcoin was years ago, turns out this more a of stupid game of hot potato and I'm starting to regret my purchase decision.

ATTENTION OS X USERS

1) There is a bug in the OSX wallets which results in crashing and poor performance (SBBOD). Assuming you DO NOT use ShadowChat the workaround is to deselect (un-tick)"Enable Secure Messaging" in Shadow>Preferences:

2) For sync download bootstrap (updated every 30 minutes) and follow instructions here:

The bootstrap will take a couple/several hours depending on CPU speed. During this time "Activity Monitor" might show Shadow.app as "Not Responding". As long as your CPU% fluctuates in CPU Activity (as shown in /Applications/Utilities/Activity Monitor) this can be safely ignored. You will see the splash-screen for Shadow on your display with text reading "Importing Bootstrap" while this process lasts.
