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.

I looked at Task Manager is Qortal is using up over 70% of CPU and Memory and I'm not even minting. See screenshot at https://prnt.sc/yof5ug

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

Syncing takes time, no way around that if you choose to do it from scratch. However, there is a Bootstrapped Database that you can find listed in th #links section of the discord. Here's a step by step guide https://youtu.be/AmXnAYUoxpQ
