Hmm...
The solarcoin wallet has used 65gb of network bandwidth so far.
Although this may not be such a problem for people in the USA and UK, in smaller countries trying to run wallets this will be a much bigger issue.
In Cyprus for example most people have between 4 and 8mbs connections.

Is there any way we can look into making the wallet network friendlier?

I agree it is hard for solarcoin to scale to a lot of the world on that data rate.


WOW... Another 5gb of useage in just 1 hour!
What could possibly need so much bandwidth?
Luckily, I have the wallet connected to my business connection, if this was my house I wouldn't be able to do anything else.

Yeah sorry everyone, here in Australia we pay through the nose for more generous data caps, so I'm afraid both my wallets will be going offline for the time being. If that data usage doesn't come down they won't be going back online anytime soon either...

Thanks to any Europeans/Americans who are keeping the blockchain moving!! Cheesy

Looks like mine will be turned off as soon as I get home as well. I've used 24 GB at current count in the last three days for staking. My 100 GB monthly data quota will be gone in about 12 days at this rate.  Shocked
