It was an absolute nightmare to finally get my wallet synced up. Every 10-30 seconds it blows up and gets stuck. The " (not responding) " message and the pc fan goes into action until I shut down the wallet. Then I restart, get another 20 seconds or even one full minute if I was lucky before it blows up again. What a nightmare. I guess it makes me thankful for all the other wallets and how nice it is to just start them syncing and go to bed/work and forget about it.
So now, it's finally synced. But of course I can't get a masternode running. I can "create local" then of course it blows up (not responding) and I restart. Then I move a little quicker so I get something done before it crashes again. It does the darksend thing. Then of course I reboot it. After waiting until I had 26 confirmations on the darksend, and multiple restarts, I try to start the masternode and I get "could not allocate vin" message.
All that I want to do is get it working, even once, so I can put it on a node hosting service.
By the way I'm running windows 10. Is there some operating system this wallet runs well on? Do I need to buy/build a linux box or try to find windows 7?
