Hope everyone is having a nice weekend.
So I've hit that moment where you swallow your pride and ask for help. I have searched this thread (not all 280+ pages) and I'm still stuck.
So this is another "qt wallet won't sync" S.O.S.
Here is what I'm using:
Macbook Air
OS X El Capitan version 10.11.5
1.4 ghz intel core i5, 4 gb 1600 mhz ddr3
I downloaded it 3 times now (I did not replace the first or second downloads) and no luck. Each download has the same wallet address. Ive let it try to sync for up to 12 hours now, 5 or 6 different days.
When I click on block support, under Decode Transaction I get a output: fail and input: fail message.
In help debug, under Block chain:
current number of blocks 574861 (and rising as I type)
estimated total blocks 1056343
Do I need to just be more patient and let it try to sync overnight?? Ive read I can add a bootstrap or a node, but without specific directions it may go terribly wrong!
Lastly, I need to keep my current Verge qt address. Total noob bonehead mistake, but I downloaded Verge wallet in the morning, went to work, got home, and sent my XVG from Bittrex to the QT wallet WITHOUT checking to see if it was synced. So freaking stupid. The good news, I know the transaction will appear in my QT wallet once it syncs. In my withdrawal history on Bittrex, it shows as completed. The address matches my qt address. I have the transaction ID as well.
Thanks again everybody.
i think you should just download the chain instead of waiting to sync, from vergecurrency.de. also, if you dont want to sync, you can use the electrum clients in the future. they dont require syncing and also can run on tor/i2p, or clearnet =]
