what is the latest ether mist version and where can one download it ? i have 0.5.2
but its so slow to sync
used to be faster
Geth 1.4.6 "EDGE" aims to solve the synchronization issues resulting from this newly found heterogeneity: it introduces a lot more download concurrency to avoid bottlenecks caused by badly connected remote machines, and also introduces adaptive quality-of-service tuning to make peer selection less aggressive for users with more restricted connectivity.
The result is a newly polished sync mechanism that can churn out a 7-8MB/s download speed in the current Ethereum main network (if your connectivity allows it), but also provide a solid and stable stream for all users, verified for as low as EDGE connections (440ms latency, 200 kbps upstream, 220kbps downstream).
https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/releases/tag/v1.4.6https://www.reddit.com/r/ethereum/comments/4mtnz3/geth_146_edge_making_sync_great_again/I am using 0.7.4 (Beta 18), the mist wallet. It takes a long time to update and it tells me there is a more up to date geth.
I understand geth is in the download and part of the mist wallet.
I don't understand how to update geth separately and if I should, maybe just wait till the next wallet release, it would then include it I expect.
Are there instructions on how to just update the geth part without messing anything up?
Any advise please.
i can tell you what i just did
no quarentie it works for you too
i downloaded the geth "edge" from the link he/she gave us then started it ( my antivir blocked it so i had to alowe it) then i had it run
and started mist like always
and it was real fast this time
when it opened .... all my ether are still there
hope that helps
oh and make sure you have a keystore backup
copie that file just to be sure you can restore if anything happens
