I don't understand how to keep the wallet synced. It took forever to sync, but I thought that was just the initial syncing. A few days of not syncing and I'm at 4,172,778 of 4,184,728, and it uses as much as 2500 MB of the memory and 12 MB/s of the disk. Please advise.
Thats an irksome topic. I havn't used my wallet for almost 5 month. Now it is syncing for several days with the progress that I downloaded 80,000 of 540,000 blocks. Running the sync for 6 hours gives me 2% ... sorry, but this sucks. Especially, that you should transfer coins only, befor the whole chain is synced. When it synced finally, I am going for a cold storage or the paper-wallet. And then I will delete this piece of everlasting frustration immediately ...
