[/color] , Typo
Which directory did you extract the files into?
~/Library/Application Support/zeitcoin
Hmm,
Delete the blockchain files again, then start the zeitcoin wallet and open the folder ~/Library/Application Support/zeitcoin
Watch and see if when zeitcoin starts syncing if the file size for the blk0001.dat increases , if so that is the correct folder
If the blk0001.dat file size stays the same, then it is the wrong folder,
Post the results.
**UPDATE: After a little Research there appears to be a bug in the Apple OS.
https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/fat-maximum-file-size-shrunk-in-high-sierra.2074025/
In this bug, apple OS version macOS High Sierra (10.13)') does not copy a file over 2 Gig correctly.
blk0001.dat is over 2 gig so that may be the issue.
Try Extracting the rar file directly into the ~/Library/Application Support/zeitcoin folder
and if that also fails try using this alternate file manager
https://mac.eltima.com/file-manager.html
If neither of those work, you stuck having to sync from scratch and would need to write a script to restart the zeitcoin wallet every 4 hours until synced.
If you have access to a PC or a Mac not on that OS version try using one of those instead.
Thank You, the 2G thing was it.
It worked! I'm at 99.80% synced.
On MAC High Sierra 10.13.13, First you need to make hidden files visible. http://www.vilbay.com/os/mac-os/show-hidden-files-macos-high-sierra/
Backup wallet. Close wallet. Right click quit on ZeitLogo, in Dock. Click Finder. Open new folder[command N] click on Go, then scroll down and click on "go to folder" type in [~/Library/Application Support] then enter
You will see the ZeitCoin folder.
Go into ZeitCoin folder. Delete everything except wallet.dat & zeitcoin-qt. Open Chrome Browser (Safari won't let you download this file), go into Preferences, Advanced (at bottom of page) set Downloads to "Ask where to save each file before downloading". Download Snapshot right into Zeitcoin folder, that you get at; https://www.cryptopia.co.nz/Forum/Thread/1336?postId=7831 watch bottom left corner on MEGA page to make sure it finishes downloading. I used The Unarchiver set at extract in to folder. You don't want it to make a new folder. After all the files are expanded simply click on zeitcoin-qt.
