It would be nice to add automatic downloading snapshot when installing a wallet.
Many questions and complaints would then have disappeared.

In normal conditions, synching wallet and downloading snapshot should be the same. But when you try to synch blockchain from start it is having errors (at least mine and many others had that problem ) and that snapshot fixed that. So if they solve the problem with synching from the start, this won't be needed.

Yes, syncing from the starts we are getting errors and suddenly the wallets start again the beginning and this makes us things are not working in a proper way. Of course, snap short will solve the problem but to download the file the memory is kept increasing.

They need to solve this problem asap! I had same problem, like many others, I solved that problem with snapshot too. I had problems with missing balance too, solved that problem quickly. Bottom line is that wallet still have some flaws, I hope that team is working hard to solve all of them and that there will be no similar glitches in the future.

Maybe they are facing some issues with the wallets, but with the snapshot, the wallets are syncing fully but people are still complaining about there problem. My question is whether we will get staking rewards even though the wallet is not synced completely?

Because the blockchain will be saved in your personal computer. If you have experienced with another blockchain like ethereum and it consumes hundreds GB when you wanna download the whole blockchain.
I thought that when it was getting an error and the wallet will reindex the block and you don't need to download what you have downloaded it before.

It's not just an issue with Veil's client almost all the coins which I start to sync after 6-12 months of the release gave me such problem that's why I decide to always go with the chain snapshots lol.

Well, this is one of the options that the developers could have enabled. I spent somewhere between 10 GB and 15 GB in downloading the full wallet (may be more). But I don't know how to create a snapshot. So I need to download it again from the website and it is going to cost me another 10 GB. A snapshot is not required in normal instances, but it may come in handy in case your wallet is facing some sync issue.

The developers are great. I'm really looking forward to these wallet fixes. Constantly synchronize and download large amounts of data - too boring and too long.

when you open the wallet, side by side with the staking button there's a precomputing button, just click the grey area and it'll become blue.
enabled!

Ah. Thank you very much maybe this will bring me some luck in the staking.

Guys, when I download a new update, all synchronized data will remain? Because after a few days I am still on 30% due to my slow internet connection. Sad

Yes, all the synchronized data should remain intact. I would still suggest you download the chain snapshots because they are much faster to download.

Not only the recent snapshot but also they need to download the new version of the wallet and it will surely increase block maturity speed and in future, we don't see any synchronisation problem any more.

Whether you download snapshot or sync directly, size will be the same, so it does not make a difference in data usage.

Looks like that studio1one was talking about common problem.
Many people complain that it takes a lot of time. Even if you downloaded a snapshot, the synchronization of 1-2% percent may take several hours. Unfortunately, I'm among these lucky ones.

it'd be great to have a web wallet, I know its not the safer option but would be definitely good.

AFAIK, The team did say that creating a lite wallet is on their to-do list. But for now, they are focusing more on the current wallet.

yeah,ok. Downloading every time a new snapshot to enter your wallet is somewhat tiring, as for me...
I hope the developers are paying attention to this moment

Downloading snapshot is optional though, for people with limited internet access for example is people with expensive cost of data per GB that'd be pain in the ass however snyncing directly also take a lot of time, maybe you could try using some kind of VPS from RELIABLE hoster for sole purpose to host your wallet that'd be convenient but kinda security risking if you don't know how to choose.

When veil becomes more popular like other lower end privacy coins e.g. xspec, deeponion, the snapshots will put newbies off this project. If it grows like monero then it really needs fixing

Anybody noticed that the market data link in Blockfolio for Vinex.Network (incidentally the exchange with highest volume to trade VEIL currently) does not work? 1st world problems, pf course, but a bit annoying to have unreliable market data there.

totally agree. Now I just sit and download snapshot - 11.3 GB , it diwnload for almost an hour just to check the balance.
This situation will scare many newbies.

Here many people are specifying they have already released the new version of the wallet which we are not going to face any wallet issues. So you can check their latest wallet update and start downloading in order to get your staking rewards.

The latest version of Veil is version 1.0.3.0, which was released quite some time back. I am using this version, and so far I have't faced any issue with syncing the wallet or mining. In case you are using an earlier version, then it may be recommended to install the new version. Make sure that the blockchain files are not deleted. Else you may need to download them (~10 GB) once again.

well, after I used this version, my wallet again started syncing after using the previous version which didn't develop. well, sync synchronization is still faster, it's just that this may depend on the internet network that I use.

Of course, you can download the snapshot but every time the snapshot size kept increasing which almost more than 11GB now, which it might take some time for downloading and if you follow step by step your wallet will sync up to date.

Yes, the size of the blockchain is one of the major issues right now because it's not even one year yet and size is already 11GB+ but once you downloaded the snapshot it will hardly take an hour to fully sync to network.

It is a great initiative for Veil to combine both proof of stake and proof of work mining. Most of us didn't like the proof of work because of the high electricity consumption. But now that Veil project is combining it with the proof of stake, i believe more people would be attracted to stake more coins for mining. Thanks for the resources, I'll be starting soon.
