What bout deleting the blockchain out of Application Data and starting fresh?
Even more! New fresh install on my laptop and replaced the wallet.dat with my backup wallet.
Running for hours already and getting slower and slower.........sometimes even stuck.
Luckily a restart solves this problem.
Is it just me or is Bitcoin-qt wallet not sufficient anymore to cope with the increase of users and security and becoming crappy?
A few years ago when bitcoins wasn't as popular as now, we don't have to worry much about people trying to hack or steal.
Looks like a sleepless night for me...........hoping....praying....
