This software drives me crazy. Had some strange stuff when starting the program some days ago and decided to remove and resync chain data. It takes forever, stuck now with 150 blocks remaining... after 3 whole days of downloading. Grrrr... why so damn slow sync?
Well that's one reason why I do not like the wallet software, I also was curious about the wallet software and I tried to download wallet and the crazy thing I've encountered is sync takes 138 years.
Strange sync, I laughed, I cursed and until now I do not use the wallet software.
