If you think its slow now, wait until they raise the max block size limit... :)And start collecting money to buy some more memory, waiting for it.

I have a 7 year old office computer and Bitcoin-qt runs fine. Blocksize could be 10mb and I'd still be fine. Most people have computers much newer than mine. There is always going to be a technological limit. For instance, you can't run a full node on my first computer, an MS-DOS machine (later I installed Windows 2.1) with 640k ram and a 32MB hard drive. Monochrome monitor. I am being violated and censored! The evil NWO centralied Bitcoin core dev oligarchy has decided that I am unfit to use bitcoin and I can no longer run a Full Node on my 1988 box! BOYCOTTTTTTTTTtttttttt I think you are underestimating the average amount of computing power. ::) We have a ways to go before that becomes a concern. Plus, there is a 0-trust lite client with a FULL-TIME developer working on it, crowdfunded with majority sponsorship by evoorhees. Don't get your panties all up in a bunch ;) you'll still be able to run a trust-free, validating node on your Windows XP machine from 2007 when blocksize is larger. (Sorry if I inadvertently insulted you by implying that you were a Windows user. ;D ;D ;D) Title: Re: bitcoin-qt takes so long to open Post by: worldinacoin on June 17, 2013, 05:18:03 PM It will take even longer to sync, about 4 to 7 days
