I watched the webinar from February 5th and I installed Core and UI on my Windows 8pm last night. However, it is STILL synchronizing and it is at 21% and I kept my laptop on ALL night. Why is it taking so long to synch? I am unable to post in Q-chat and last night I signed up for Discord https://discord.com/channels/@me/807806308375855116 but no one has responded to my posts yet.

Could someone tell me WHY it's taking so long to synchronize? At this rate, I may have to leave my laptop on 24/7 for the next month.

In Discord, I stated on Qortal's channel DM at MEE6 that I wanted to be a minter and I need someone to sponsor me. Please respond to my Discord username "decentralized" (without the quotes).

Thanks
