Edit: And everytime I click on the wallet it goes to (Not Responding) for about 30 seconds then comes back. So I can't even unlock it for minting, even though it hasn't fully synced yet.
I also had to delete and start from scratch. Now 14 hours syncing, only 59% done. Why is it so slow. How to speed up this. Anyone have any clue?
When you sync from scratch, do it with a brand new empty wallet.dat. It's faster than with a wallet containing coins!
My wallet finally synced. About 14 hours later.
Wouldn't the wallet resync over again when you replace the wallet.dat with the original that contains the coins?
So can someone please explain why a lot of people had to resync by downloading the whole blockchain and others did not. These are some of the quirks of altcoins that I do not understand.
