If someone could tell me how to sync the wallet that would be great.

Download a bootstrap.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.9772191

Also for syncing I noticed, that having multiple connection to other nodes creates "ERROR: ProcessBlock() : already have block XYZ" and trigger lookups for Orphan blocks which slows down the synchronisation.
I usually reduce the maximum connections while synchronizing to have only one source and not get ERRORs and ORPAHNS.
Set
maxconnections=1
in clam.conf and restart the client

Note: There is slight chance you get connected to some malicious node and you download forked chain, but I never encountered that. Plus after you finish syncing you can check the hash of the last block with some public clam block explorer.

Note 2: The sync takes some time to finish, depends on the CPU of you machine (it basically verifies whole chain on the fly) - it can take few days (when I tried to sync using Raspberry Pi in January, it took a week to fully sync)

Thank you for the reply, but there is no percentage of completion.

I have downloaded the bootstrap and copied it.
But my wallet stops importing at block 1,775,795 ( 1 year and 12 week (s) behind ). The " importing blocks " has also disappear from my wallet , What should I do ?

Have you tried to restart the client?
Do you have enough space on your disk?
Do you see any ERRORs in the debug.log?

Another Poloniex withdrawal - another withdrawal ERROR Angry

I am starting thinking that the issue is in the high amount of the withdrawal - too many inputs in transaction leading into the error.
I'll try smaller amount next time and let you know it it helps. (After the support credit the coins back)

EDIT: Coins are back, it took only 7 hours now. The support is getting better. :-)

If you already have enough capital, you can allocate funds from the following bounty to invest in ICO, or coin that you think is good. Do not be easily influenced to make investments that offer high profits.

It takes 4-8 hours for the deposit to be credited and the withdrawal is nightmare of its own. Last time I got withdrawal error and waited a week for reimburse, then the following transaction was generated properly, but it was not broadcasted to the network ... another few days and it was significant amout of clams.

But I am bit afraid of opening tickets for Clams again and again as Poloniex can start thinking that its not worth the effort to keep Clam running...

Not sure about Poloniex issues with CLAM, but I recommend you to calm down a bit.
Let's look back at what happened with bitcoin in 2017, transactions congested for weeks if were not boosted with higher fees.
Poloniex is a good exchange, and at least you won't lose your coins at any odds, I am sure about that.
I agreed if supports are too late, it's bad, but let's see, and you should try to re-contact them for help.

I got all my clams, I am not complaining - I am just saying for others, that it can take some time to get Clams in/out and that the Clam daemon running on Poloniex probably has a rough time now.
Plus I have good experience with the Polo support, they solved my every Clam issue.

poloniex deposit and wd not landing...WARNING

Poloniex is a big exchange, and has very good trust over years.
Despite of the fact that Poloniex demoted below Bittrex, and Binance since later half of 2017 till now, the exchange's reliability is very good, I believe in them.
So, you should not worry too much, my friend.

It just takes forever + requires opening a support ticket.

My service is much faster for people looking to get in and out of these crazy markets quickly. FreeBitcoins.com/swap

Since the partnership with Circle made, supports on Poloniex improved considerably.
They reply to support tickets fastly and have good supports in my experience with my support tickets.

Hi,
I consider running Clamcoin service providing daily blockchain snapshots because its the quickest way to get new wallet synchronized. I had to recently re-synchronize my node and it was slow and painful process. So I can imagine that it could be helpful for a Clam newcomer to get the wallet ready in shorter time.

PROS
+ Wallet is synchronized immediately after downloading/unzipping snapshot

CONS
- You have to trust that the snapshot is providing correct blockchain

So my question is
- Do you guys think its generally good idea?
- Is it actually running somewhere already and I just missed its existence?
- Are there any drawbacks I haven't considered?

Thanks

I had heard about this project two years ago, and now I'm so surprised that it is still alive. It is really nice.
