Also Important:

I have the same problem but mine says 2 days instead of 80 weeks. It got so close that I was sure it was almost complete but it stuck there. If you can find out what is the reason behind this or at least learn how to overcome this would you be kind enough let us know why or at least how you overcome this so we could do the same thing for our wallets?

edit:
@BitcoinNational thanks for instructions...let me try it.

Re: is it possible to move my appdata folder to another hard drive?

3. type "bitcoin-qt -rescan" into the command window (without quotes) and hit enter
4. wait for bitcoin to rescan. this may take 30 minutes.

Sorry about the slow reply, I wasn't subbed to this thread and so didn't get a notification of a new post. The short answer is that the NXT wallet allows transfer of assets, which we use in the Unobtanium Exchange for our in-house coin, DVC (Distributed Vault Coin). It is a silver-backed hedge for UNO and BTC.

The more detailed answer can be found below. To learn more, see:

- the Un-Ex discussion thread: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/unobtanium-in-house-exchange-757232
- the About tab of the Un-Ex trade tracker where you can find an explanation of DVC as follows:

How to use the NXT Wallet with Un-Ex DVC (Distributed Vault Coin)

** Download PDF version of this post (531KB, hosted on Dropbox)**

Prerequisites

i. Go to http://nxt.org/ and download and install the wallet. Open it and you'll see a loading screen for a while. Make a coffee.




ii. When it's ready, you'll see a login screen. As a first time user, click DON'T HAVE AN ACCOUNT? CLICK HERE TO CREATE ONE!




iii. Make a note of the generated passphrase, or, if you'd prefer to make your own, try to ensure it has at least 50 characters. Plain text is okay, just make it long.
Ideally, don't make a structured sentence, as this is more easily guessed. Instead, use groups of 'random' words. However, for the purposes of this instruction, I've gone with this sentence for my new 53-character passphrase:
this is the awesome passphrase i want to use the most




iv. Once you've entered your new passphrase the wallet will load. Allow the blockchain to finish downloading. This may take a while (possibly even overnight, for slower net connections).




v. Exit the wallet and then open it again. Log in with your new passphrase (use mine if you want to test it). The wallet might prompt you to update the client - do so, then close and open the wallet again until you're no longer prompted to update. The current version of the wallet is 2.2.0 and NRS Version is 1.4.15 (versions shown top left and near-top right of wallet window respectively).

Okay, your wallet is now set up and ready to roll. (If you're struggling at this point, try posting here in the thread for help or see this thread on the NXT Forum called 'Installation and Update Tutorial'.

How to use the NXT Asset, DVC

HOW TO GET DVC

1. You'll see a message in green at the top:
Welcome to your new NXT account. Your account ID is NXT-C7S5-M97L-TGES-7RB9M - When funding your account for the first time, you can increase security by also providing your public key, which is 59c168512d4bada60f41a9e55645bfa534757badf0b3939808a6487a97280131




2. Copy the Account ID and the Public Key and post both to the Un-Ex thread. Eg.

3. Wait for your DVC to be transferred. Ask someone here for some other NXT assets in the meantime (if IMZ or Ian haven't sent you some already) and you can try sending them to other addresses.


HOW TO SEND DVC

4. Click Asset Exchange and then My Assets




5. Click Transfer next to the asset you want to send (usually DVC, Nxttycoin for this example) and a lightbox appears




6. (Note, I've logged into my own NXT address to do this, so when I paste the address for our new account I'm also prompted for the public key). Here, I am sending 1 Nxttycoin. Noting the cost of this transfer is 1 NXT, I've clicked Transfer Asset.




7. The asset transfer is in progress!




8. To check your trade details, click Asset Exchange and then Transfer History. Your transfer should appear in a little while. You can click the Transaction number to see the transfer on the blockchain (just like viewing a Bitcoin or Unotanium Transaction ID on the blockchain explorer).





Note. You can log into the test account using the passphrase as noted here and you'll see I've transferred 11 Nxttycoins there (I did 10 and 1 during testing). You can log out of that account by pressing the power icon () and can then log into your own account with your passphrase. Simple when you get the hang of it!

Now you know how to receive and send your DVC. Questions?

(Also, please let me know if something doesn't make sense or if I've missed a basic step, I'll get this fixed promptly. Ta.)

This is a work in progress or place holder for the idea of a tech support thread, if I understand Mark's vision correctly. We'll put a few more things in here until we have a good amount of quality material then it can be organised into a coherent how-to thread or even a wiki. This is all pending time and availability for concerned posters, that is - I'm interested in helping more but need to balance my own very finite personal resources, for example. For now, I'm planning to keep adding things until we've got the topic more or less  covered then we can review from there, I guess.

Edit. one thing on my 'to do' list is to create a set of 'Getting Started with UNO' screenshots and one-line instructions for the downloading & installing the wallet, setting up Receive addresses, waiting for the blockchain to get updated and then activating encryption. Possibly along with or instead of the screenshots, I'm also thinking of a step-by-step video of the screen with my voice-over and/or captions. I'm putting this idea here in case someone else wants to do it first (if it's even worth doing?). Please feel free to do so, as my available time is under continual strain from work, family and health. I hope to get to this soon-ish, but can't guarantee it. Best effort is intended. Cheers.
