Where can  I get help with a problem I'm having with the windows wallet? It's been almost a week of me trying to contact someone to get it working so I could feel comfortable buying more potcoin. But now I'm really considering just selling what I have and investing it somewhere else...... Help would be nice.

What problem are you having? Also, what CPU/ram/windows version/other info?

Have you tried the Coinomi android wallet? Works like a charm and fast! You should be able to enter your private key there

Potcoin Wallet? New install?

Potcoin Wallet is very slow, first time taking 3 weeks for syncro... If I closed wallet one week, take 18-30 hours for syncro. idk why!!

My laptop runs windows 7, 2.6gh/z i5, 8gb ram. The problem has been that most of the time (3/4 to half) when I start the client it stops responding before it even opens. Sometimes it will start after awhile(10-15 minutes) but like last night, I had it not responding for three hours before I gave up and exited out.

Yes, I have coinomi, but I really like having my main wallets on my laptop. Don't feel comfortable putting large amounts of funds onto third party wallets, especially android apps. Was hard enough for me to muster up the courage to download the Coinbase app. A couple thousand dollars may not be worth much to alot of people, but I've taken on a second job just to start investing it. So it kinda really means alot to me to say the least.

Yes potcoin wallet. Sort of new, I had downloaded it and synched it a few weeks ago, but then this problem started happening and I've uninstalled and reinstalled it a few times. The few times I've had it start recently, it seemed to keep all of the blockchain data because it only had to update since the last time it was connected.

I'm really new to this (just acquired the first pc I've had in years this christmas) and am still learning. So, sorry if this is a normal thing that happens. I've just never been able to find any resources on this matter. Thank you guys.

if you have a laptop  than never shutdown it, just hibernate   so you don't need to open it again

coins with a bigger blockchain gonna take some time to start the wallet, it could look like the app is frozen but it s actually scanning the blockchain, you can see it with hard driver usage

if it really to long to load maybe your hard drive is very slow (could be damage, happen a lot on laptops) start to be very slow before it get really broken

Yaknow, I did not yet think to check the hard drive usage to see if it was running. I did notice that I do need a new hard drive. I got this laptop used and the HDD was only supposed to be a few months old, but if it is only that old, someone had to put it in a microwave or something because it's slower than a one legged turtle. It just made me nervous because none of the other few wallets I have quit responding(the not responding window opens asking me to wait for it to respond or close it) or take that long.

Guess I just need to upgrade this sucker a little bit. Thank you for your help.

[onefry]

you have to update the list nodes (ip's) i think its the potcoin.ini file, check the thread for a link to the updated list.

[CartmanSPC]

Potwallet, even on the best PCs, takes a LONG time to sync! Get yourself a fast SSD in your new computer. That helps but even still it takes a while.

If you don't want to upgrade then find a wallet client that does not need to sync the entire blockchain. I don't know of any off the top of my head as I don't use them myself but I think this is recommended now for most users of Bitcoin due to the large blockchain.

[carlo_0000]

or as i said,don't shutdown the laptop but hibernate, so the wallets are always running after start

[PotCoin]

POTCOIN back on SHAPESHIFT

[4thKind]

Any way we could get a recent bootstrap for the Desktop QT Wallet?   Syncing is awful.

Washington Bill Would Make It Illegal to Pay for Weed With Bitcoin

Cannabis may be among the country's fastest growing industries, but its status as a Schedule I controlled substance under federal law poses an inconvenient discrepancy with more liberal state policies.

It's well known that pot businesses have used digital currency, like bitcoin, to work around the issue of banking and use of credit cards, given that most financial institutions, complying with federal law, will not service green industry folk. But now, in Washington state, even that's under fire.

State Senators Steve Conway and Ann Rivers proposed a bill to prohibit local cannabis businesses from buying or selling products using bitcoin. "A marijuana producer, marijuana processor, or retail outlet must not pay with or accept virtual currency for the purchase or sale of marijuana or any marijuana product," according to the bill, in which "virtual currency" also includes digital currency.

Roll it up and smoke it!! Thats pretty much the most devastating news that can come when the coins main focus was to handle the banking side of the industry and now we know any purchases will be made illegal using cryptocurrencys ..... GET OUT NOW!

[RazzlDazzl]

Watch all the money now go into dopecoin, since they are going to be focusing on the marketing side, and there coin will actually have a good use!

That's not the case in Canada, Colorado or any other state we are aware of.  We have previously had a legal advisor contact the Colorado M.E.D. and they did not have a problem with regulated cannabis businesses accepting digital currencies

[RazzlDazzl]

Did you even read the next 2 parts of that?lol Believe me they will identify a problem. Im also sure the people using potcoin to buy weed, definitely want more attention on them by the feds and local law.. Im sure blockbuster video will make a comeback as well..lol Like I said, get in dopecoin while its super cheap and watch it grow:)

[metropolia]

Potcoin performed very well in 2016, we have seen the nice and organic growth in 2016. Hope to see more adoption, and potcoin is the best cannabis related coin.

[carlo_0000]

i don't know why you suddenly get out of pot ?
bad news or good news   pot is going up , the walls decide the way it goes not the news and i think they don't wanna that is get down, if it did ,it already happen and it did not

and nothing special about dope

The effect a virtual currency ban bill debated in Washington state will have is raise awareness of the potential benefits of bitcoin or potcoin could have.  Lets say the benefits that could be offered through the blockchain are argued effectively.  Any public debate or mandate decreed immediately increases the possibility of considerable deliberation in the future as well.  Colorado leading the country in pot sales and potentially allowing public consumption having the additional advantage in transacting for pot with a potcoin is a signaling a green light to for now.
