Is there something wrong with geth? I had switched to parity but now when I start geth or the wallet no blocks load and it will not sync. I am using the latest wallet (6) and geth (18).
Thanks.
yes there is
i know no one with a working wallet. and i try for a friend to get his ether predao fork out of that wallet. i start thinking his coins are burned. he is another colateral damage of the big daobailoutfork .
Why is this a constant problem? Since I started with ETH months ago geth synchronization has been a mess. This is such a fundamental function for any coin. If this doesn;t work how can anyone have any confidence in the coin or the development team that is supporting it? Starting a wallet and having it synch should be automatic and without all the aggravation we get from geth and ETH.
I know I am venting but is anyone ever going to fix this?
Well, what version of the wallet are you running, and on what hardware? The last solid month or more the network has been sustaining constant dos attacks, making syncing super slow for some. 0.8.6 contains the hardfork to fix most of those issues, with another coming to further complete the fix.
i updated to 0.8.6 and it wont sync. and i know no one with a working wallet no one .
Soz b. But you can't know many people!
I've had no issues syncing or making transactions from my wallet since 0.8.6. And I know there are many others, even in this thread who are able to as well. Perhaps try another wallet software, such as myetherwallet?
so you sugest myetherwallet? whats wrong with mist 0.8.6?
i updates to mist 0.8.6
from a very old version of mist
it holds still predaofork ether
and i would think there are many out there with the same problem
not everyone checks the wallet every day
right now it syncs very slow the blocks found come faster in then my wallet syncs so i get more and more behind.
i was talking of people i know with mist wallet and they do all have the same problem. the wallet wont sync. glad to hear that you and others dont have the problem. but we do have this problem
and if the eth comunity is a friendly one the comunity might want to have our problems with the wallet solved. or is it that you dont care if the wallet has problems ?
i see in this thread not only me with a problem i see many posts.
so to every one who has an idea how to solve this let me know .
