Few question,
1. What is version of your Bitcoin Core?
2. Did you configure Bitcoin Core to use proxy/tor?
3. Can you share output of debug.log so we could find out the problem? You can post it here or at https://pastebin.com and share the link to us.


1) I am using version 0.21.1
2) no
3) where would the log be? what folder would the program write the log to?


My advice would be to start over, but not before upgrading your hardware. To compare performance: on my old Linux laptop with slow CPU but 16 GB RAM and Bitcoin Core's chainstate directory on SSD (with the blocks directory on HDD), I can sync the full blockchain from scratch in just over 24 hours. If you insist on running Bitcoin Core, and if your computer can handle it, I suggest to add at least 8 GB of RAM, and a solid state drive.
With your current hardware you're probably better off running a less demanding wallet (such as Electrum). Unless you have a specific reason to use Bitcoin Core.


I have been using Bitcoin Core because unfortunately I have some Bitcoin in my Armory wallet and would love to get Armory up and running so I can get my bitcoin out of there and not have to use Armory anymore.  Being a new person, I did not realize that you needed to go through all of this in order for your Bitcoin balance to be displayed prior to sending coins to my armory wallet

my Bitoin Core is stuck "connecting to Peers"

hey,

I have been downloading Bitcoin Core for five weeks and made 69% progress.  Suddenly its getting stuck and has not made any progress in the last 4 days.  The computer is all frozen/unresponsive and won't let me open anything up.  I have windows 10 with 8 GB RAM, 1000 GB hard drive.  There is Norton running in the background but other than that, there are no other programs running on the computer.  Really need some help here, this is a very frustrating situation.  I tried to attach a photo of my screen but I don't know how to do it in html.  its been stuck in "connecting to peers" on the bottom left of the screen for like 4 days

hey there, I am not too technical and I could really use some help.  Like many people, I sent some Bitcoin to my armory wallet prior to knowing that I had to download and sync Bitcoin core with Armory first.  So I literally just spent the last three weeks downloading Bitcoin core and it was almost done (about 88.24% of the way done) and I get an error message  "an internal error message has occurred, please check the log".  I clicked "ok" and then the whole Bitcoin Core download just disappeared.  I have no idea what to do now about anything.  I have no idea where the log is and I am afraid that If i click on download bitcoin core again, it will just start over and erase the last three weeks of work.  I am really kind of desperate for help here and really wishing i never used Armory. I really hate this.  Thanks

Hello,

Does anybody know which wallets plan to support the Bitcoin Gold (BTG) friendly fork on October 1st? And what, if anything, should be done by the user?
