'Scanning the Blockchain...'



  • I've been mining under a wallet address that I generated when I first downloaded the Sia-UI(Before the synch completed). Now that it is fully synched when I try to log into the wallet, I enter the password and it 'unlocks the wallet' and gets stuck on 'Scanning the Blockchain'..It has been here for about an hour. Should I reinstall, wait for it to fully synch before I create a wallet? I just want to make sure I am mining to the correct wallet's address

    @highonbikes Try and reinstall but don't lose your password.

  • Address are tied to your wallet (which is tied to your seed.)

    You don't need to be fully synced to receive payouts to your address.

    If you have a slow HDD, waiting an hour isn't unreasonable. Upgrading to 1.3 may change the speed of your unlocking.

    @xurious I use M.2 and gigabit internet maybe that's why I never notice the syncing problems. I never considered that some people would have slower hardware. Good info.

    Syncing on a laptop hdd or 5900rpm drive takes ages.
