Hi everyone
I understand some of the issues with the GUI wallet. We are currently working to fix some of these issues.
here is all of the steps to fix a wallet that is not syncing.
make an exclusion in your antivirus to the folder the binaries are in
run the GUI as admin
make sure the wallet file name does not contain a space or non latin characters (so "my wallet" should be renamed to "mywallet" etc)
these are usually the problem for the wallet not syncing up
Note if your syncing the wallet for the first time using the local daemon it is going to take 10+ hours to download the blockchain, but it will show the progress. If your using the remote node it should only take 10-30 seconds for any of the nodes no matter your location. The first time you create a wallet it will take 5+ minutes to build the cache.
Another error I see a lot in discord is "failed to get random outs". This is due to a limit the remote wallets have in them. It also happens because most of us have mined small multi daily payouts from pools and have lots of unspents. One can fix the issue by
sending smaller amounts or
running a local daemon as this does not have a limit
I am going to tomorrow change the remote settings in the core code for the remote servers from the default limit to a higher limit, to see if this fixes this issue for people this week in discord, since this can be a annoying issue without a great fix, if one does not want to use the local daemon. If anyone currently gets this error let me know if after tomorrow it goes away.
Also just a note, one of us is usually on discord or on here, and were more than willing to help users even if you need to DM us to get your wallet working.
As far as the team, there has been no one that has left, or stated they wanted to leave. Tias was an ambassador on discord/telegram, not part of the actual team. Ambassadors are very important, and are trusted members of the community and are able to help out with issues or concerns on telegram/discord. Team members are the only ones with access to servers team chats etc, The core team has grown from 3 people when we launched on July 31 2018 to 8 people less than a year later.
