Bitbay QT wallet has been sync at 3 weeks. I am familiar with QT wallets and I can usually figure it out but right now all my bitbay is in the QT wallet and even with Halo\, I still need to sync QT then transfer my bitbay. Any suggestions - I am using the latest version and checked my firewall.
For the fork, both wallets will be updated. So it's okay if you use either QT or Halo wallet. Just always remember to have good backups. I like to use SSD style drives. There is also printing out wallet on paper and that sort of thing.
