The wallet can only deal with a small amount of coins. If you have a large number of coins and blocks it will hog your computer resources and slow your system down.

Nothing special was done on my side. The current latest version worked very well, without a need for anything special. I just
1. Backed up the wallet.dat.
2. Removed the "Paycon" directory from "Roaming folder completely.
3. Created Paycon.conf and added these nodes to it:
4. Run the new wallet, and waited for it to fully sync (could take a long time).
5. Closed the wallet, replaced the new empty wallet.dat with old backupped wallet.dat, then restarted the wallet

It now works well, stakes few times per day when left open.

Well Iam having a few GLITCHES with my wallet I have updated about a dozen wallets over the last few years and for some reason its not working for me    So if anyone out there can PLEASE post some directions how they did updated there PayCon wallet I would GREATLY APPRECIATE it  I really want to see this coin come back again so if anyone would like to post some ideas FEEL FREE

So... nothing but the wallet... which incidentally caused a 'few' glitches...

I didn't look into the code of the Paycon wallet, but I believe you, probably the code is indeed screwed up. However the wallet always worked great for me, even with all of those bugs inside. I have seem a lot of extremely buggy pieces of code, which actually somehow perform really well for many-many years inside the normal working conditions... Thats funny, but is a fact . The only problem I have ever seen with the old wallet, is the big number of orphan stakes, but I believe this is not affecting the resulting staking reward one receives, as the actual coin age is preserved, and wallet soon stakes again... Are there other, more serious functionality issues?

Wallet could be a problem, but truly saying, I see another. much more important issue (as to me), which comes down not to coding, but to other values of the coin. Specifically - what is mission of the coin now? At the older days, it was a parody/jeer to PayCoin, and it did really well as such. Now, when PayCoin looks to be a thing of the past, some other idea should be the motto and the purpose of the coin. Something which could attract people/community the same way as opposition to PayCoin did before.

Sure I may be wrong, as I didn't follow this coin regularly for the last year, and didn't read all the posts... but I believe this is the most important missing thing now.

The wallet code is very outdated and as you mentioned has a lot of errors.  Most that I am/was not capable of fixing.  I am sure there is a dev who could fix those errors and keep the original code intact; however, I would recommend a new code base at a minimum, with or without the swap.  A new code base is crucial in my opinion. 

Clarification: CryptoHustler actually controls the user: PayCon (CON) I do not have access to this account. I do however own TheCryptoChat listed above.

"My PayCON Team" has consisted of me, cryptohustler, and simontower.  Cryptohustler and simontower were/are existing CON members who took upon themselves to take part in helping with moving CON forward.  I was approached by crestington to come in and help CON.  I then accepted that challenge and made my presence known and my opinions moving forward.  As documented here on BCT I tried to get the community involved asking questions, for participation, plans moving forward, etc.  Very little feedback was ever given and noone else stepped in to help.  I made it known from the beginning i had little "coin code" programming knowledge but wanted to use this opportunity to learn.  We did make good strides starting out  with new OP, new logo, new wallet look.  However, when adding the dev fund, fixing orphans, etc. issue arose.  This I understand is my fault due to my lack knowledge.  Nevertheless, I spent countless hours working on CON trying to move it forward with little help from the community.  No one person can make a coin successful it takes a COMMUNITY.  I have every CON and BTC donated to the Dev Fund and will turn it over to CryptoHustler for the future of CON.  So what did get done was FREE.  I spent my own money on the logo and time on updating wallet, etc.   My suggestion is if CON wants to survive its need a community to back it.  I would recommend someone more experienced than myself for coding.  However, coding is not all thats involved with making a coin successful.  There is something for all community members.  I have invested my own money into CON outside of the dev fund I hold currently and hate to see where it has gone.  CON can still be successful but it takes more than a couple of people to accomplish that.  I will continue to hold my CON and help where I can but if this community wants to survive you need a good dev team and a community wide effort.  

The Dev Fund is not really growing and I think PayCon needs a fresh stable blockchain and Wallet. Due to the massive size of the main PayCON wallet and multiple errors in the code I am in for a Coin Swap to PayCON V2.

~CryptCo

"PayCon (CON)" is user "cryptotech" ( https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/cryptotech-397698 ), Dev of https://thecryptochat.net/
and his team. They are still here.

Crestington has left because of a long trip to europe and he said he "got burned out from crypto".

Now I am a bit confused. If there is no development team, then who is "PayCon (CON)", and if he is the developer, then what happened to him? Did he left now when the wallet finally works, and the fork issues seem to be resolved...?

You would have to ask him that.

My wallet is working fine. I know C-cex is using the correct wallet. I believe they have just listed the wrong version.
Have you deleted everything EXCEPT wallet.dat and tried to resync?

By the way why did Crest leave?

Hey guys Iam still having a problem syncing my wallet ,Iam using 2.1.2 . But why does C-Cex show version V2.1.3.0?

Anybody having the same problem?

CON is left with no development team. I was apart of the team and I am still here but I do not have the skills to develop for CON. Unless others step up and start developing there will be no progress and CON will continue to die. I have been here since Crest took over and I have always done what I could to help CON succeed. It is a great lose to see this coin die but it has been difficult to get members of the community to join in and help. For years I have seen coins come and go because people just wanted a "dev team" to do all the work and they would sit back expecting to profit. CON has become no different. Ever since Crest left CON has never bounced back and continues to lose value.

I have been running the CON faucet listed on the OP as a benefit to the community. It will soon be shut down as it is no longer worth running.

As I stated before, I am still here and if any one else wants to step up and start developing for CON I will do what I can to help.

thanks for adding CON!!

Someone has dumped CON to 17 sat on https://c-cex.com/?p=con-btc  

We added your cryptocurrency.
With respect, the development team of Crypto-trade.

The wallet needs to be further optimized as becomes unresponsive when there's a large amount of coins and blocks.
