Very good news! Via is backed by LTC network as she is fast! Moved some coins around, confirm times are amazing.

How fast is it? Could you report some numbers?

I'm still having the same issues, so I've taken a screenshot.

This is after about 40 minutes of running the wallet. Note the network usage in task manager, the downloaded amount in the debug window, and the figures it shows on the progress bar.

This was done with a fresh/new data directory.

Why is it behaving this way?

Is there anything else I can try? Like clearing any other data from Windows somewhere?

Edit: It says 4GB in that debug window now... not long after posting this.

I've considered this might just be normal for Viacoin, but it seems strange to me that it would be much less than 1% synced after so long, and so much network activity.

Same here. Throws up error. Tried it several times. Will try slooooow sync now until solution appears, which I have no doubt will happen. This dev is unstoppable.  Grin

A few hours ago Romano released optimized and even cleaner wallets, which can be downloaded at viacoin.org#download then use cryptochainer to get a zip bootstrap of the blockchain:

The legend himself replied to me  Shocked Hello!

Thanks. Yeah I'll give that a try and see if it works better.

Re: cryptochainer, I tried their blockchain (not bootstrap, just the data dir zip) too, and the wallet just threw an error at me and crashed. First time that's happened to me with a CC download too!

Anyway, I'll try the new wallet from scratch... Thanks again.

Posted this question about a week ago, but I ended up deleting it because I thought I'd fixed it (I hadn't)...

Basically, I tried running a full node (QT), but syncing was acting weird. There was loads of network activity showing on Windows task manager, and Via's built in network monitor was showing 20GB+ downloaded. The blockchain folder was showing much less than this (can't remember how much now) and the wallet was still stuck on 3 years behind.

This was after running the wallet for a few hours.

So, can anyone tell me what was going on there, and how to remedy the situation?

I'll give it another try later, but thought I'd ask in the meantime, in case anybody is familiar with this sort of issue.

Note: I've synced a number of wallets in the past without issue. It's not something that's brand new to me (only this issue is)

Cheers!

http://cryptochainer.com/dir/?page_id=365  Edit, sorry, seems they used an outdated method so doesn't work, just have to download overnight or wait until someone posts a link to one...

Great news re Segwit, once I've updated my wallet (which may take a while on this holiday connection), I plan to make another nice donation for this achievement.

Big advantage when holding a big bag for VIA coins since a few weeks ago but I've sold it and re-bought some now for long-term investment.


I think VIA is definitely worth it to be considered a long-term holding.

I def hope so, hopefully after august 1st the coin can go to the moon

Very good chances that it goes up after Aug 1st.

VIA to 20 USD .

I would settle for that Smiley

It's possible, but only with your help. Some things you can do:

1) Run Viacoin node.
2) Tell your friends to run Viacoin node and send them 10 Via to get them started.
3) Answer questions about Via when people post them on Twitter, Bitcointalk, or Reddit.
