If somebody made a bet on that - we are sorry, however, for us priority number one is creating a sustainable business. It doesn't actually matter how much you managed to raise and how long it took you, this is not a race. If you are not able to deliver results to your investors these 'records' don't really matter.

This should be one option during your transaction.

to Waves wallet, or whichever you specified. Soon after ICO closes

Sync is slow because of large volume of transactions & big block size. Just Wait until it finished

Unlock wallet： help - Debug window - console  - input walletlock

then   walletpassphrase yourpassword time true

I don't get that error at all - I have active connections right now, and it took about 30mins to sync - did you download latest version from LEOcoin Website?

Also, the transition period has just started, it will end on 21 July, so during that time more people will be setting up nodes.

try the new one - it is so much better - syncing takes 30mins - and it has a lot more features.

observing this kind of questions since many weeks. the wallet situation really is a huge pain in the back.
spent lots of time e.g. in slack, fighting with different setups/methods.

was like:

basilisk not sending? ok, try again. and again. and again. eventually you will be good.
not sending? well, try alternative send method (x,y,z)
still not sending? ah, try native mode instead
native not syncing? this must be the OS - use linux instead
synced but not sending? oh, better use swing wallet
swing not starting? phew, use the new agama beta pre-release then
again not sending? well, there will be another swing version soon. better not use agama for now

rinse and repeat.

complex grounds, sure. but very likely this is scaring many people away from the project.
like: "whoa, not even a functional wallet (freaking up keys, killing interest, etc.) - i´ll pass"
