Ethereum Wallet

[stealth.money]

Can someone give me the right link to download Ethereum Wallet? I can't find it anywhere. It said command line only at their web site but I want to buy some coin and deposit into my wallet. I never left my coins with exchange as it is very risky. It must have a secret working wallet somewhere.

Here you go; but, keep in mind just like everything else associated with ethereum there are problems.

There may well be good reason for the red X through the word safe on their main site.

It keep saying Ethereum node needs to sync, please wait...
I've been waiting for almost half an hour then click SKIP PEER SEARCH, nothing happen.
How can I get it to connect to nodes?

Keep waiting until your wallet is synced.  It might take a day or two if you have a slow connection.

The "geth -- fast" makes the full sync take 30 to 45 min

I would recommend it for a person who's using Linux.  Otherwise it could hard for a non-technical person using the command line.  But it's really not that hard with enough time and patience.

I have to admitted this is way confusing, I'm not sure if this is working because it show nothing about the blocks I have downloaded or percentage. I will go ahead and wait till tomorrow. I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate.

Where and how? It sound like Linux. I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit.

I believe if you navigate to your geth executable directory in a command line and type "geth.exe --fast" it will behave the same way.  At the very least - you should be able to type geth and watch it sync.

Edit: I just verified this is working on my Win 10 box.

I would not download anything from a link i followed from bitcointalk.  I never follow any links off this site.  If you want a wallet you should get one but {never click anything thats posted on bitcointalk}  thats a rule i live by.

You need to run geth.exe first and then open wallet. It will take about seven or eight hours to download blocks. Pay attention because geth hangs sometimes.

For me the problem was the firewall. I deactivated the firewall on my Windows and in my Antivirus which had a firewall aswell. I also was at work, and here he have another firewall and i had to open port 30303 to connect to the internet. These clients are very tricky as they do not connect to "normal" ports, now i am connected to 12 peers and the blockchain is downloading. Cheerz

If you down load ETH. Ver. .0.7.2. How do you upgrade to the newer version do you just replace the ETH launch icon on mac with the old one and that is it ?

If you download the ETH wallet, then good look keeping it up to date!
I didn't open if for a few weeks, I am not sure I will ever catch up now.

It processes blocks at about 10 per second for me, and it usually just stops after a while meaning that I can't just leave it running until it catches up...

My laptop isn't the best, but it isn't the worst either (Latitude E6220)

I have used jaxx.io and everything went fine, there is not need synchroning. It is very simple and easy for use. You can try it too. Good luck.

I think I know why ETH wallet is taking for ever to download the blocks.   I have 0.7.2.  Now. The update is 0.7.3. You think this is the reason if so what part of the new wallet do I paste in the old wallet folder

Ethereum Wallet - useless I'm afraid.. over 6gb RAM after few minutes after adding contract watching
Is there any more local wallet for ether now?

You could use Etherwall but will still need to download the full blockchain using geth

Best I think to stick with the official Mist wallet get the latest release at https://github.com/ethereum/mist/releases

You can try an SPV light wallet from Jaxx at https://jaxx.io/

If you want to use Trezor for storing Ether best to stick with Mist as Trezor support is planned.
