Hello everyone,

for days now I've been trying to synchronzing my Windows XVG wallet, but without success.
I read and applied some ideas of this thread, like:

1) using a VERGE.conf containing the line connect=37.187.27.4

2) using a VERGE.conf containing different lines with addnode=....

3) using the wallet without a VERGE.conf

4) alternating (1) thru (3) several times

5) I already deleted several times the whole blockchain (all files but wallet.dat)

Sometimes the synching goes on for a bit, then it gets stuck again. I left the wallet running several times over night, when I look at it in the morning, it's still stuck.

With no other wallet I've ever had so many problems.

I'm using wallet version 2.1.0.0-unk-beta.

Current number of blocks 353.312
Estimated total blocks 532.079

The green bar is there at 178.767 blocks remaining, but it's stuck again.

I love the Verge coin, but with these wallet problems, it's getting a bit irritating.

Does anyone have another idea what I might try to get this sorted?

Thanks a  lot
Kay

Okay, next block reward reduction is coming in just over 70 million XVG.
That's only 2.85 BtC at this mornings's last sale at 4 sats.
Just a heads up as this coin supply is getting smaller and smaller. 

The supply is not getting smaller. Just the rate at which coins are produced.

Yeah but not sure what this will do as the last halving the price dropped.  With not many people even knowing about Verge, I really don't see any changes coming with the halving.  It looks as though the 4 sat wall support has gone away and 3's and 2's could be coming soon.  There just doesn't seem to be any interest as volume has been dry for months now.

I've said it before but I'll say it again, if you expect the price to rise just because of a halving you don't understand crypto. Don't come to this thread to whine about it, it makes you look inexperienced. Just sell and let the adults play.

 
     Just throwing out a few ideas. 

a) Any thoughts to a facebook tip bot?  It seems like you have most of the tech sites covered, but something more main stream, could really do wonders getting us out to the masses.  Can you imagine if each person tipped a couple thousand verge to each of their friends.  They would all want to see what it is they got.  It could go viral...

b) Any way to make the install include I2P or Tor automatically, and have it configured, so non technical people can click once and have a verge wallet with I2P or Tor?  I'm pretty tech savvy, but I'll admit I'm not using either I2P or Tor.   I installed I2P once, got it working, but never used it again.  I'm not sure but I think it was interfering with other things I had running. 

   Along these lines, if you can easily automatically install I2P or Tor, eliminate the clear net option.  This way VERGE is anonymous, not just if you configure it correctly...     

c) Does coin2pay keep a vendor list somewhere.  In theory all of their vendors accept verge, would be nice if you could point the website to that list.   

Love the coin, the idea and all of the work that has gone into this.  Now we need to move it from the exchanges into the real world. 

   

You gotta relax. Everyone single post you make is doom and gloom.

I am also a top holder, but I made all my money back and then some on the last big rise and so I'm in for the long haul with my stack.

Maybe you bought too high, maybe you bought too much but that's not anyone else's problem. Just relax, if you can't, this might not be for you.

I am in fact totally new to this thread....

I have XVG coins for a while on Bittrex and would want to have them on a personal wallet.

Could your tell me where to find the up to date desktop wallet and HOW to do to install in my computer?

Thanks in advance.

ok, so the OP contains the Up To Date wallet link, thanks... did not want to take a chance.

No, want a desktop wallet, no paper ;-)

BTW, is Verge available for staking?

thanks for the little guidance.

Will see if I can install smoothly
