Blockchain synchronization very slow
-
I installed Sia-UI v1.0.2 wallet on a Win10 machine. Have been syncing all day and I am still at 35550, half way there. I have also forwarded ports 9982 & 9981 in my router - no change in speed. Is it normal?

The initial blockchain download will take a while, the exact time depends on a few things, network speed, current number of peers on the network, harddrive speed, and to an extent CPU. There are a few downloads floating of partial blockchains but be careful of where you source the files.

You can also get siacoin vps with 100% pre-sync blockchain
