Holy fucking shit I just want to use the native Ethereum wallet

there's some kind of terminal command you have to run to make it sync in fast mode.

geth --syncmode light

something like that. anyway yes ETH is shit and is overvalued.

I did just that after checking the wiki. Fastmode is enabled and I was able to download almost all of the blocks. I'm stuck at 100 blocks left.

This isn't acceptable. They should've fixed this in the latest release but it's been this way for over 6 months now.

Yeah, yeah,yeah.

And I own $500k.

Ethereum's market cap is $27 billion.

The Ethereum foundation holds at least 1% of this.

The least they can do is make a working wallet so more people can run a node and make it more decentralized and secure.

Is there a reason you want to run a full node?

But mainly:

You need a good SSD to fully sync geth quickly. Use parity wallet if you want to sync and move coins quickly, it has fast/light syncing enabled by default.

WHY CAN'T I JUST TORRENT THE 300GB BLOCKCHAIN AND BE DONE WITH THIS LIKE A NORMAL WALLET WHAT THE FUCK IS IT DOING?!???

you could download a full export, there's really too much risk with that though. It's useful when moving the chain data across your own network though. Just use parity on linux to move your coins, then switch parity over to archive mode to switch it to a full node.

>>3412965
How big of an SSD do I need?

>>3413290
500gb at least probably

>>3412362
run geth with command prompt using --fast and --RAM=1024

Or something like that. Just google that, it'll come up. It still took me 2 days to sync that shit, and it's like 40gb. Worthless.

>>3413316
It'll expand in the future too, so probably 1TB? WTF? So basically the future of ETH is a bunch of centralized servers is what I'm getting at? It seems the startup cost just to run a wallet is at least $1,000 and a fast internet connection.

>>3413350
I already did this, very first thing too. Geth is already taking up 3GB of ram already.

>>3413371
sheet man. I was having trouble for days then I did that and it worked. I had to delete everything first though. It appears that you might've already tried that.

>>3413381
Is it working for you now? I'm hoping once it's done I can let it sit running.

>>3413401
yes it works just fine now. I don't update it straight through geth anymore, I just use the wallet application because it usually doesn't have that many blocks to download.

>>3413359
This is only pertinent I'd you want to set up a full node quickly. If you have lots of time that's another story, and you don't need a 1TB SSD.

>>3413359
Also just pause your turbo autism and use parity in default mode until you figure out how to properly run a node.

>>3413779
Wasn't there an exploit in parity?

>you literally have to download a fucking terabyte of data just to access your money

who is the moron who said this was the future?
