Topic: Wallet won't sync (Read 1493 times)
Huh, difficult to say whether it really is normal to take weeks. What's your connection? Do you let your machine run 24/7? Is there some progress when you keep your cursor above the icon? You could go and download a full copy of the blockchain from some mirror, its' much faster!
it is because it download the whole blockchain
try the wallet multibit you don't need to download the blockchain
try the wallet multibit you don't need to download the blockchain
Or use wallet service blockchain:
https://blockchain.info/wallet
Don't put more btc than you can afford to lose.
Thank you - much appreciated!

ok! thanks guy
Wallets like this are great for daily spending. I suggest keep downloading and look into cold storage for long term.

I'd just use blockchain.info. I've had good experiences there. QT takes a real long time to sync if you haven't don it yet. Sometimes I've had it take a long time even after it should've synced. I eventually just shut it down and reload and it should catch up.
I have a problem with my car, suggest you take a bike instead. If you dont have anything to contribute, just dont.
Running Bitcoin-QT on OSx 10.9 and it is taking forever to sync. Been at it for weeks now. How can I make sure it is still syncing while i am not at my desk.
I have the computer automatically locked after a few minutes so my kids won't get on my account and I think this is the problem. It will not update while I am away, any suggestions on how to fix this?

See if your wireless/wired connection goes to standby when the machine is locked.
You can see if the client is still downloading when you are afk under Help -> Debug Window -> Network Traffic. Set it to 5 minutes, hit clear, go drink a coffee and see if it did anything while you were gone. Since I have synched several times with Win7 and Linux Versions I suspect that it is something your OS does, e.g. make the connection "sleep" or something along those lines.

I am on Windows 7, and my bitcoin core works flawlessly after I lock my computer, but I am not sure about OSx.
Btw, you should use the bootstrap torrent for the initial sync.
waiting for 8 hours to download is very slow'
I will try an online wallet
