Is there any way to speed up the syncing process?
I turned off my wallet last night, because when I'm not playing the game, I don't want my computer to be under such stress (it does seem resource intensive), but got home from work and turned wallet on at 7:30 (over an hour ago) and it says I was 18 hours behind, its STILL updating/syncing now (says I'm only 4 hours behind now).
I'm on a Six core processor, 16 GB Ram (1600 Mhz), a "mechanical" but at least Sata 1 TB HDD, and a 60 MB Internet Broadband...cannot be my computer and I hope it isn't just "because I'm using windows"?
Is there a way to download the blockchains from more nodes or something?
need to be patient.. without an ssd it's painful.. it is the same for namecoin.. don't force close client or you may corrupt some data, and need to re-download from scratch.
once it has caught up it should be fine

for people that are lagging.. is nothing really to do with amount of players (atm)... it's because blocks are coming in very fast, and ntfs is shit..
if you defraggler on the datadir .. it should be fine.. for a bit
as i said.. i'm on mechanical hard drive - Windows 7, Huntercoin Client + Vmware (with ubuntu + Huntercoin Client) on the same hard drive... is ok for me.. but.. i did use defragler to move datadir to end of hard drive (with lots of free space around it).
When difficulty gets higher and blocks are 1 minute.. it will be easier, and a lot slower to get coins..
at 1min blocks.. it will take 10 hours to get from yellow to red
or a full day to get to the centre and back....
People playing now
are early adopters have got it easy at this speed of blocks
p.s. i have not mined/harvested any coins since release.. so if anyone wants to donate, please donate to the address in OP (currently have just 50 HUCs donated
