Title: Ethereum Wallet sync.. How big is the block?
Post by: Mijntje on February 01, 2018, 10:29:22 PM
It's been looooong hours running the waller. Now it's at block 5.013.000.  How much more does it need?

you need at least a week if you want to run full node of mist wallet, for what exactly you need it ? cause you can use light version of it.

Sync with the light client, not a full-node. You'll end up most likely getting stuck with 100-300 blocks remaining if you go full-node.

Light sync takes like 1-2 hours.

Do you have some significant reason to use desktop ETH wallet? If not then you can just use MyEtherWallet. There is no need to wait for a full sync to make anything with your ETHs. Just beware and don't get to phishing sites, that's all.
