I'm unable to do anything, i get the spinning beachball constantly and if i try to send or receive the wallet just hangs.
I was solo mining for a long time and each reward seems to have generated a new address. So my wallet has hundreds of unique addresses. I don't have much hope this can be sorted.
no idea if this will help.
increasing your maxconnections
.
either edit the QubitCoins.conf (i dont know the correct file name la capital letters)
maxconnections=1000
or open the qt using a terminal window and add arguments
(can drag/drop qt onto terminal window to get file location)
open terminal (applications/utilities)
>open /file/location/qubitcoin-qt.app --args -maxconnections=1000
..
try not to let your computer be doing anything else
seems like it needs full attention
another possible is using ulimit.
it sets system limits on processes, so you'd raise the limit, then open qt
i'm not that familiar with it, but on OSX 10.8
terminal window
> sudo ulimit -n 10000
password : [enter your user password here]
> open /file/location/qubitcoin-qt.app --args -maxconnections=1000
note: this only effects processes done within this session (terminal window), so you need to open qt within the window, and when you close window that setting will disappear (except for the qt that might still be running - until you close that too).
..
in case you're wondering why maxconnections might help, when maxconnections seems related to how many network connections it has,
maxconnections is tied to file descriptors, which seem to be related to number of processes that can be handled.
