Sia UI not Synchronizing

[MinerMan64]

@Dodgums After I found those gateways it started to sync too, but it was taking ages to scan the blockchain and find my wallet. So I closed the client to see if that made a difference, all it did was reset everything forcing me to cmd run siad.exe and re downloading the entire blockchain.

So after much searching and headache this node "gateway connect 104.168.152.120:9981" worked for me

It was quite annoying to go through more than 10 non-working nodes and its quite slow when only one is working...
Agree with other new users that its a shame the wallet is so problematic. Love Sia as it offers great technology (cloud backups) that can and most likely will see widespread adoption in the future. However, as im sure the dev team knows, things like these basic wallet functionalities should be fixed. I read in a reddit post that the Sia team was not doing aggressive promotion at the moment to ensure robust programming before a huge influx of people.
After firsthand seeing the wallet performance I agree with this decision but encourage the dev team to rush this tweaks as Sia is, inadvertently, getting attention and will either encourage others to program a better solution or to look elsewhere..

Only one at a time. If there is any error try other one.

@Dodgums Your suggestion does appear to be working. It is a shame that this kind of a bug is not fixed.

@patorobles

This is the only gateway that worked. Thank You

@patorobles Thank you! This worked for me as well, but did you disconnect from the other gateways? If so, what did you type in to disconnect?

I'm having the same issue. My wallet has been syncing for over 24 hours and hasn't moved off of 93.2%. I agree with Craig's post from 2 months ago. A lot of the above suggestions sound like they work but are way over the head of an average user. This has to be click and go or this service and coin are going nowhere. Wondering if the Sia team can provide any updates on when this will be resolved? Thanks

Are you using the latest version of Sia? (V1.3.1). Check this article for troubleshooting: https://medium.com/@sia_steve/sia-support-update-transactions-and-syncing-52dad5858711
