Title: Bitcoin taking FOREVER to synchronize w blockchain Post by: Lgetty17 on April 23, 2013, 05:36:52 AM I got the first 80% of the blockchain synchronized within about 6 hours, but the last 20% has just dragged on forever. Probably 4 or 5 days now. Anyone seen this before?

make sure you read the readme at http://blockchain.litecoin.net/README.TXT on how to use it. Basically you unpack, then run "litecoind -rescan" to refresh the database. It's much faster to download from here than to download from the network for most people. maybe there is one for Bitcoin as well. |
