Wallet not Syncing
-
@wrapper ok so i am completely new to this… i bought 1000 ftc a few days ago, my desktop wallet is still currently syncing… i assume i will not get the coins until the wallet has finished its sync ? I have also clicked to install the 64bit version, is there any way i can change to get tje 32 bit wallet but still get my coins as still habe over 2 years left to sync and it is progressing by approx 1 week per hour

The FTC are on the blockchain, when you have a synced full copy you will see your blocks / coins.
You can change to a 32bit version the database is the same, why do you want to do that?
-
as i assumed the 32 bit version would download faster?
-
@sean9805
No, it is not faster as it is exactly the same code, just compiled for 32bit systems.
It will behave the same way as the 64bit version -
Just an update of my wallet syncing. It been 20 hours since I complete removed the FeatherCoin wallet and reinstall (of course backing up my wallet) the whole blockchain again and I’m at 2 years and counting.

So I fully sync my wallet now. Imported my back up. But I am missing coins. There is no resscan wallet option and where. When I look at the address of mt receiving wallet Online shows the correct amount but my wallet does not. Please help me,.

Sometimes a single transaction takes days, here a full sync would surely be take a lot of time. Don’t you worry, have patience. 24 hours have been past, it’s too late to restart. Wait for 17 hours, or a few hours more if it say so.

You need to start your GUI with the --rescan parameter from a command line window.
on windows
- open a cmd window
- change to the directory containing feathercoin-qt.exe
- run feathercoin-qt.exe --rescan (2 times ‘-’ )

Thank you in advance…

Easiest would be to copy the whole .feathercoin directory of the user if you are on linux.
For windows it’s %APPDATA%\feathercoin or %APDATA%\.feathercoin

Tha you for the reply.
One more question please :
I encrypted the wallet and then made a backup.
The backup file is 80kb. Is that correct?
-
@mikegeog
That sounds ok. The backup contains the private keys of your wallet only, not the blockchain, so the size is relatively small. -
@wellenreiter Thank you :)
