I had to delete the blkindex. 12 hours later it still isn't completely synced. Does this sound right? (Version 1.5)
Edit: And everytime I click on the wallet it goes to (Not Responding) for about 30 seconds then comes back. So I can't even unlock it for minting, even though it hasn't fully synced yet.
I also had to delete and start from scratch. Now 14 hours syncing, only 59% done. Why is it so slow. How to speed up this. Anyone have any clue?
When you sync from scratch, do it with a brand new empty wallet.dat. It's faster than with a wallet containing coins!
My wallet finally synced. About 14 hours later.
Wouldn't the wallet resync over again when you replace the wallet.dat with the original that contains the coins?
No - once the blockchain is downloaded, the wallet.dat file just tells the client which address/addresses to look for. Only takes a few seconds.
i like that idea ..i'll have to remember that one !
also i would say make sure the wallet has enough CPU power to work.
i doubt it's an issue but i CPU mine myself so i have to manage resources with that.. some wallets take a lot of power on occasions
