That's normal. If you go to debug, you can see the current blocknumber. The gui only updates those 3 years and 1w stats after being fully synced. That's normal, I think bitcoin has it too if I'm correct.

Also do not use the Viacoin bootstrap available on cryptochainer.com.

They use an old database format.
I recommend to sync with the wallet from scratch.

If you did use it, backup your wallet.dat & export your private key.
After that delete the bootstrap and sync from scratch.

Bitcoin's progress indicator moves, as do other wallets. It may be a normal cosmetic issue for Via, but it's not normal across the board.

Have you looked at my post above, with the screenshot?

I checked the log file, and everything looks normal - it's just extremely slow. Why is it downloading loads more data than it's committing to the chain file? (again, see my screenshot)

Cheers.

Edit: Would it be possible for you to upload the current blockchain files for us, as cryptochainer's is out of date?

This is the perfect time to get segwit activated...
upon activation, we can atleast expect to reach $5

And for what reason u think we'll reach 5?

Just because of segwit? Thats very optimistic

Has litecoin already implemented segwit? If the segwit activation of bitcoin happens all the other coins with segwit activations becomes redundant.

Like I said, thats very optimistic to reach 5$

For the exact reason you just mentioned. Segwit is not that big of a deal to reach 5$.

I could be wrong, but are you implying viacoin would not even rise a little cause of your argument?

And to be clear, viacoin is still a solid investment coin with a potential to reach 10$, but not cause of segwit. Viacoin is one of my most trusty altcoins.
10$ Is a sure thing eventually.

Quoting myself as it is important to read.

This wasted a large portion of my day - I thought I had deleted everything but I must not have and now it's syncing normally... /facepalm and thanks to Romano for reaching out and making me realize I f'ed up!

I have let it run  and up to 43,000 blocks, its been on for about 5 hrs. Is it suppose to be that slow, I am relatively new to cryptos so I don't know if I am doing something wrong.

It depends. Are you using an SSD or a spinning HD? It usually takes me a lot longer to sync to an HD than an SSD. I'm on an SSD and I've been running it for less than an hour and I'm over 10k blocks so far.

segwit is coming baby !!

What is you're price guess for the summer of 2018? Been following via for over a year know and bought a nice amount of VIA.

But what price would we achieve within 1 year after all further developments and hard work of this great dev.

could we reach 50 dollar?

best regards,

It varies what people think but my general conclusion is that it will be anywhere between 10-50$ next year but keep in mind this on pure speculation. I have read alot of threads about previous price predictions and they are almost never accurate or they predict way to low or way to high. People where saying zec would be worth 50$ in a year and look where it is right now . At the end of the day nobody has an idea what it should be worth and they are all just speculating keep that in mind

Thnx for you're answer. I know it's just speculation but I don't think there are a lot of coins that have a dev like viacoin has. Or the development and there are not many via's also.


And if you look at a guy like Otoh who has a s***  load of via in his wallet i don't understand with all te good news thats via isn't already 5 or 6 dollars.

Rome wasn't built on 1 day my friend and indeed Via has a great dev and your statement about otoh is also true so you answer your own question it's just a matter of time. And when the ball starts rolling things can go real fast

i have install the viacoin-0.13.3-win64.exe wallet and start the sync.
Suddenly at the block 2880354 it has stopped synchronizing and for some hours it remains at 42 weeks.
It has something to do with the segwit or where is the problem?

[DOL006]

segwit is coming baby !!

My via is in my polowallet. Do i need to do something because of segwit ?
