I have a wallet version v1.7.2.0 and it does not sync!
WTF

VRC sync up for you? Been trading this since Cryptsy and Mintpal days. My tip, open "help-Console" > "Information" tab, when you see "current number of blocks" stall on a certain number close the wallet. Wait till the VRC icon is off your taskbar, then reopen wallet and repeat. It'll go alot faster than just leaving open to sync. If I wait a few months to stake, I have to do this a few times to sync up quickly. The VRM wallet I have yet to see this sync then stall issue and lately it can go a year or so before I open its wallet to sync up.
