quests for devs...
1) The Windows wallet program (https://github.com/swap-dev/swap/releases) is very unstable, it "Not Responding" in many cases.
Are you planning to fix it ?
2) There is version 2.8 on github (https://github.com/swap-dev/swap/releases) dated 15 Mar
There is latest wallet 2.8 (?) on https://swap.fyi/#wallets dated 16 Jun
Which is stable version? Why you do not put information about new version ?

1) Which wallet are you using? CLI or GUI? What's triggering the unresponsiveness?
2) Those are just minor changes, small fixes, none critical, which will all be incorporated in the next release, 3.0. Until then, 2.8.1 is still fine. But fell free to use 2.8.2 if you desire.
for example - start, sync, wait an hour, click to History => "Not Responding" occur
2) It's a good idea to put an anouncment about any changes of wallet application (just for security reasons).
I've been hearing about issues with the wallet and have experienced them myself recently. Here is a quick report.
When starting the GUI wallet there are 2 options on type of wallet to open. Local node or remote node.
I recommend doing the local node if you can. There have been issues with the remote node (especially the default remote node). The issues is too much traffic. Here are other options other than the default if you want to use the remote node.
node.swap.fyi:19950
58.185.155.109:19950
Node.bitkitten.xyz:18850
node.pocketwhale.info:19950
Also it looks like the local node is taking a long time to sync at the moment. The next wallet release will reset this time I believe. For now there is a blockchain.raw that you can download to speed up the process. I haven't tried it personally. The raw file is over 5 GB so it is a large download.

And if you would like there is always the web wallet which is super fast. It is secure so long as your computer is not compromised (your seed is saved in cookies I believe). Good practice to clear your cache every once in awhile

Hope this helps yall that are having issues. As always feel free to pop in discord and holla

I've heard the next XMR release will make changes in the sync. But anyway, it's still faster than others (I made some comparisons).
But about the GUI problem, is it related with using the [node.swap.fyi:19950] remote node?
It may have felt really slow for me yesterday because I switched from fiber internet back to cable internet.
As for the node.. yeah apparently too many people are using it because its the default option. Switch for a much better experience.
