Blockchain update problem.
-
Hello, I'm newbie and I installed the burst client for win 0.3.2. When I enter my wallet, it says "downloading blockchain..." but it can't gain any progress. My computer was opened about 1 day and it connected to internet. I don't use a firewall. Does anyone help me to update my blockchain? Thank you very much.

Complete sync should max. take a few hours, if there is no progress, check if you are connected to peers, if after 15 minutes no peer is found, there seams to be an issue with connection to the network. If you are connected to peers and there is no progress, try restarting the win client.
If you do not find the menu point 'peers', you can also open:
http://localhost:8125/burst?requestType=getPeers&active=true
to check.Should look like:
{"peers":["212.91.99.207","5.196.224.68","178.62.39.204","5.9.38.137","203.158.118.10","128.199.135.188","178.33.177.212","23.92.53.153","87.246.37.130","187.35.33.140","95.211.84.13","212.65.15.181","218.219.86.185","77.99.233.40","133.130.112.228","192.198.95.50","82.69.50.50","192.198.95.54","216.165.179.44","85.25.200.125","194.44.30.113","24.161.19.186","92.27.7.209","46.237.194.160","216.165.179.43","176.9.101.198","108.238.244.144"],"requestProcessingTime":0}

I too am a newbie and while there has been progress with the sync, it seems to be taking way too long to complete. I have stopped and restarted the Burst client about 3 times now, but it isn't moving any faster. I am running the Burst client 1.2.0. Anyone have any suggestions on how I should proceed?

@Startfc I think you should update your client

I updated to the 0-3-2 version and the download process is still happening very slowly. I upgraded to the new version approximately 8 days ago and after letting it download all that time it still has not even gotten to the halfway completion mark yet. Any suggestions for fixing this? Thanks.

@Startfc
If you have a slow machine in can take 2 or 3 days. Tell us something about your hardware and internet connection.version 0.3.2 is not the latest anymore. 0.3.3 connects to much more peer and maybe it helps you:
Close the client and just install it over the old version.

@Startfc - You can download the almost up-to-date Blockchain from db.burst-team.us. Just unzip it inyou <wallet>\burst_db directory then restart the wallet. It's updated every 24 hours, so is never more out of date than that.
