I am super surprised it went to fast. My computer is old and I was using Mist from January. I synced every few weeks and it always went so slow. But I most likely do soem stupid things in January since altogether used quite a lot of my disk space.
Now i have it all in 8 GB. And syncing was only few hours. Sometimes is just good to start over from scratch

Yeah, I'm using Parity with Geth 0.8.4 with the max "--cache 1024" command - I started, again with a new UTC from scratch as well.

Usually, I just fire up Parity every few days and let it update the blockchain!

And, only open up the Geth 0.8.4 when I'm doing some transactions.

Wow this shitcoin is dying fast

You're the reason I wish I hadn't purchased ETC. Your cheap insults are just making this arena more toxic than it needs to be

To sync your ether wallet fast you should
1. Use newest version of software (geth/parity) available
2. Sync from 0 because there is often database version/structure migration which lasts more than sync from 0 even if you have only few blocks left..
3 . Look for the further details at Ethereum media as blog twitter etc.. sometimes giving special flag can help

Which is the best wallet for ethereum in windows. I used one a long time ago but fails to synchronize,would appreciate your help.

Should be this one: https://github.com/ethereum/mist/releases

altho i have problems now. stuck at 2339693. Have no ideas why. Had peers and all. Now try to sync from scratch.
I am actually surprised it goes so fast. I dont have SSD and have 3/4 synced really fast. Not to mention my old chaindata folder was 27 GB, now is under 5 GB and only 1/4 blocks left.

I'm going to download the 64-bit windows version and this is my first time, how long does it take to sync fully?
And what internet speed do you have so I can compare how long will it take for me to download ?? GB of data.

you need one day to download the blockchain (it depends on your the internet speed)
I think is better to use myetherwallet.

I have let it for 9 hours and it is still on block 1,3M, there were some unexpected windows update which slowed the process.
Anyway I'm going to let it the whole day and see what will happen and will check this myetherwallet, what's the difference btw?
And the Disk is 100% in use which I don't like much.

Does MyEtherWallet offers private key of the address?

They are taking way to long to update the Ethereum wallet to counter these attacks that slow your computer.
Way to many problems.
These continued attacks and the inability to stop them and the extremely slow wallet update to counter the attacks are not good for Ethereum.
The price is going nowhere fast untill they start properly addressing these issues to say the least.

Yeah I tried to copy over the backed up key file and it made no difference.

Oddly. I restarted my main PC and this time it worked.. Freaked me out though.. Really odd.

That's good to hear, gl

Odd issue just came up with my wallet.

I wanted to transfer some coins to another address (which I've done many times before) and it keeps saying I have the wrong password.
Which is impossible, because I am very thorough with DD on my passwords. So I know it is correct.

I have the latest 0.8.4 wallet and can receive fine into it, but can't seem to send out.

I am running parity for the blockchain and it's caught up.

Anyone else having this issue?

Anyone ? It's starting to worry me. It has quite a bit of ETH in it. Lips sealed

Do you know where the keystore file is?

It is probably in C:/Users/yourname/.parity/keys

Please confirm it is there

Bottleneck will be speed of your HD. if you have SSD will be super fast if HDD will take overnight.
As i said 3/4 of blockchain is 5 GB.

I installed the Electrum Wallet and I'm downloading the blocks right now, I'm almost at 10% but will see how far will it go after 8 hours.
I used Ethereum a lot in the past but only through exchanges but now want to try the desktop wallet and experiement with the private key/troubleshooting.

I'm totally new to Ethereum wallet and would like to know if there is a video tutorial how to install and use ethereum wallet including how to maintain the private key.
If there is such a video tutorial please let me know, I need it to use with ICN.

If you are using Ethereum Wallet Electron/Mist your private key are encrypted by the password you should set.
You can find it in folder keystore in appdata/roaming/ethereum (Win7) or so
As I and many of previous users posted here sync lasts about few hours.. Although if network problem will occur it could take more time.. but I hope you will be able to sync your wallet fast
