I've spent the night sleeping on an uncomfortable sofa because I didn't want to sleep next my computer fan, and all for nothing because this thing was at 7% only. I closed it and opened it again, back to 0%. My chainstate folder is 6GB. Fuck this thing. I wanted the Bitcoin Core equivalent for Ethereum and I've only experienced frustration thus far.
Is there any safe way to store ETH any other way? by the time I get a functional Ethereum wallet going Vitalik will have gained weight.
Synchronisation of my client took three and a half days. Closing the client and reopen it made the synchronisation progress report sometimes kidding for a while. Let the synchronisation run, run, run. Relax and no haste. If needed, store your computer outside your sleeping room...
