Title: Qt wallet won't sync Post by: sync1 on March 03, 2014, 04:22:16 PM I have a qt wallet saying it has 8 active connections to the network but it has been 42 weeks behind for several weeks now. The arrow wheel on the lower right does not turn like it used to if that means anything. I have Microsoft Security Essentials and have added bitcoin-qt.exe to the excluded files as well as the bitcoin folder to excluded locations, but the blockchain was loading fine a few weeks ago without changing settings in mse. I have reinstalled the wallet as well. No luck. bitcoin-qt.exe is hardly using any cpu as it used to. using windows xp. My hard drive is getting full but it says I have 5.76 gb free space. 16gb of of the blockchain is already on the drive.

Qt version is 4.8.3. sorry... what is your Bitcoin version? 0.8.6 ?? :) yes it's 0.8.6 try to backup your wallet - then delete blockchain from %AppData% roaming folder. Run qt again - download new blockchain. This should help. Title: Re: Qt wallet won't sync Post by: sync1 on March 06, 2014, 12:01:57 AM ^ That's what I ended up doing and the chain loaded fine. Disk space or MSE was not the problem. Interesting the problem seems to have happened around the time of the transaction malleability issue blowing up.
Title: Re: Qt wallet won't sync Post by: Silvercube146 on June 05, 2014, 02:28:51 AM Don't forget to upgrade to the latest version which as of this post for bitcoin core is 0.9.1. Also, you can download the blockchain bootstrap using bittorrent. It would probably be a bit faster using the bootstrap.dat torrent https://bitcoin.org/bin/blockchain/bootstrap.dat.torrent (https://bitcoin.org/bin/blockchain/bootstrap.dat.torrent). You can also track the blockchain size on blockchain.info http://blockchain.info/charts/blocks-size (http://blockchain.info/charts/blocks-size)
