I believe the wallet issue should be top priority. The sync process in itself takes a very long time and can be discouraging or bad for new users, especially if they have a limited internet usage. That accompanied by the huge ram usage (mine was almost at 1GB) is a big turnoff for people.
A good example, my wallet froze on me earlier while sending payments out for DKV. I waited 10 minutes for it to respond before I killed the process. It's now been an hour since I restarted the wallet and it still hasn't loaded up even though it is the only thing running.
I'm a big supporter of HYPER, but it keeps putting a huge strain on my computer's resources and hardware.
Agreed. It was the first crypto I was ever exposed to so I didn't realise how much quicker most other wallets are until later, and I was already a HYPER supporter by then - not sure what my reaction would have been if I'd already been used to the much faster wallets of other altcoins when I met HYPER.
