Hi everyone. Windows client is killing me. I'm trying to download blocks for the third time and it's always stuck at 99,99%.  It's so frustrating. Please guys help me before i smash my laptop 

[erkan]

Windows users:

* please upgrade to version 3.5.9.2 https://steemit.com/gridcoin/@erkan/new-release-gridcoin-version-3-5-9-2-not-mandatory

Why ?

* There is again no superblock for more than 55h (see: "We are waiting for you, oh SUPER-block... again" https://steemit.com/gridcoin/@erkan/we-are-waiting-for-you-oh-super-block-again )

likely causes of the delayed superblock + new Gridcoin version:

* "Within a few days a leisure will be released aimed at adressing these 3 known issues"

https://steemit.com/gridcoin/@ravonn/gridcoin-superblock-we-forgive-you

the bounty is now at 7000 GRC (est. $408 / 0.17 BTC):

* for solving the superblock situation in #Gridcoin, no SB in 140h (6850 GRC) and
* creating the superblock (150 GRC)

https://twitter.com/GridcoinIRC/status/879689498120028160

$GRC bounty:

  solving superblock situation (for 99h no superblock) + creating the superblock


https://github.com/Erkan-Yilmaz/Gridcoin-tasks/issues/136

[erkan]

What I want to highlight from below is this:

    me: "The top50 GRC addresses own 48.76% of all Gridcoins" (total coins = 392.5 million GRC)

    me: the top50 are surely not 50 individuals but a few people only

    me: that's what I'd do when I'd be smart

    me: having more than 1 address is not only advised due to avoiding people pointing fingers at you, also backup/security wise


The other things discussed below may be true or not, but the above fact doesn't change.

Hi everyone. Windows client is killing me. I'm trying to download blocks for the third time and it's always stuck at 99,99%.   It's so frustrating. Please guys help me before i smash my laptop  

It most likely isn't stuck, but the estimate is wrong. When it's at 99.99% it's actually more like 66%, so it needs more time, but the counter can't move past 99.99% until it's really finished.

It's all good now. Wallet synced. I totally forgot to run the client as administrator, so it was all my fault 

[Altcoinlover]

just uploaded the windows wallet for the first time (last version).

1st time I opened the wallet, I got a few small messages (e-mail address
and others which I ignored).
Finally, I told to myself it would be better to complete every steps.

So, I closed the wallet thinking that I would see again the different messages.

But NO, I opened again the wallet and I don't get the different messages.
The wallet directly started to sunc and did not display the small windows
showing the messages)

As this is different from other wallet / coins (sure), I am not familiar
with those little setup "requested" that I denied.

Could someone help me to understand what to do to be fully operational
with the wallet and have everything setup for the best benefits of the wallet?

thanks in advance

* So, how do you actually know that something is wrong in your Gridcoin client?

* The situation today is GOOD (and also was good yesterday after like 1-2h)

Btw why is nobody mentioning that we are close to solve the team requirement issue? This are some really big news or am I wrong?
