No I dont escrow anymore.
i don't think there is need to shift on new version.
the old one is working perfectly.

Some see it as a vote for bitcoins future. Do you prefer 2 MB blocks ASAP and support classic or do you prefer WegWit first and support bitcoin core. Other than that I have to say 0.12 is significantly faster in terms of sync times (be that full sync or catching up longer periods).

Taking forever to Sync
Should be much faster than any previous version. I'll assume either: 1) Default settings with average hardware; 2) Old hardware; 3) Other problems. Which is it?

if it is so good why has it taken me  all day Saturday and half the night to download what is essentially still not working
i am running the fastest NBN and have a huge download capacity running a quadcore computer with windows 7 and i am still waiting for it to synch WTF
That's a problem on your end. It took my full node 17 hours to download and sync from scratch with default settings. I've recently done this test. We can't really help you without any information.

Both have their advantages and their problems. Core needs constant backups, electrum only a single one (the seed, write. it. down!).
I concur. Many do not realize this and end up losing their coins.

I don't really have a issue with bandwidth and since it's a torrent it would take hardly 3-4hrs to download it but the problem is I don't have 60 gb of storage lol, yeah got a lame ass pc. I will check out electrum, I also have heard about armory is that a good wallet?
It isn't a torrent, and you definitely should not download the torrent for it. That is actually slower than syncing normally over the p2p network.

You don't need 60 Gb of storage. You can have the prune option enabled which can reduce the space used to around 2 Gb.

Armory is a good wallet but it requires Bitcoin Core and Bitcoin Core must not be pruned. You would have to download all 60+ Gb of the blockchain in order to use Armory.
Thank you for your help, I just check electrum and it seems fine for my use. But if bitcoin core is betterbetter, then I would give it a shot too.

Both have their advantages and their problems. Core needs constant backups, electrum only a single one (the seed, write. it. down!). Core makes you part of the network, electurm needs others to run servers. Core wallets files are hardened against brute force attacks, electrum wallet files not (or only barely). If you are happy with electrum, stick with it.

Hey guys, I was think about switching from blockchain.info to bitcoin core. Should I do that? I mean can some one give me advantages and disadvantages of using a downloaded wallet then a online one.
You should switch to use at least a desktop wallet. Desktop wallets put you in full control of your wallet and Bitcoin. It doesn't put you at the whim of the shitty service that blockchain.info provides. With Bitcoin Core, you will have to download the full blockchain, and if you don't have enough bandwidth to download 60+ Gb of blockchain, then you probably shouldn't use Bitcoin Core. It can be used in pruned mode so you don't need to store all of that data, but it still must be downloaded and processed so your computer will need a decent processor and at least 4 Gb of RAM. If you don't want to have the full blockchain, I recommend that you use Electrum.

how tor emove the fee per kb? i want to set them per satoshi, but i can not undo anymore the "per kilobyte" mark

It works for me when I do the following:

Go to Settings/Options . Select the Wallet tab. Tick the check box: "Enable coin control features". It will appear a button with the label "Inputs...". Press on that button and select the inputs you want, or if you prefer, select all inputs.

At that moment, the radio button "total at least" gets enabled and it is ready to use.

i was referring to the custom menu where you set "per kb" or not" after you set per kb, you can not uncheck it anymore

I have tried again and I can uncheck the "per kilobyte" radio button only if I select at least one input as I specified in my previous post. If I select at least one input, I can switch from the "per kilobyte" radio button to the "total at least" radio button and viceversa without problem.

I agree that it is not working 100% OK because the UI lets you have the "total at least" radio button selected and active and the "Send as zero-fee transaction if possible" checkbox ticked and active simultaneously, which doesn't make sense, but that is a different issue.

ah yes, it work now, i've tried again, why i need to do this trick to unlock the "total at least" option? all this mess for something that should be available by default

it looks like a bug to me
