Title: Bitcoin-Qt catching up for days now
Post by: BadAss.Sx on November 06, 2013, 05:57:56 PM
My database of Bitcoin-Qt wallet was corrupted so i had to do it all over again :( no worries i thought, did that numerous times so let's do it again, but this time he is catching up for 3 days now and just still at block 212169 after 72 hours. Something wrong with the network? Normally it took me a day or so, but this time it is very sloooooooow. It wants to catch up to 268241 but i believe we are much further isn't? I cant check it, because slush is down :(

edit: according to bitcoincharts we are at block 268274 so i def missing something here

Can you solo mine with it?

As long as your wallet has all your transactions you can send BTC without completely syncing the blockchain.  Warning if you try and send coins when your wallet does not contain all of your transactions it can cause you to double spend your coins and it's a pain to try and remove a double spend from your wallet.  So even if you have all of your transactions backup your wallet.

Can't you export your private keys and import them into Electrum? That way you could at least access your coins.
