ETH wallet is too problematic, thinking of dropping ETH altogether.
Running W10, fully updated, latest stable version of the wallet. It's never worked well. Every time I use it there's a battle in getting it connected. I have to manually run geth.exe, press enter a few times, hope it starts downloading the blocks. After a bunch of manual intervention, I can get it synced. I'm tired of it. Fuck supporting it when I can't trust the wallet to sync. Does anyone experience the same issues?

So... if you're trying to full sync without a proper rig, you'll have a painful experience, last time i've check Ethereum was above 600GB
Try
geth removedb(or manually erase the data) then start again withgeth --fast --cache=2048 console(adjust the cache figure according to your ram)you should be sync in less than a hour (depending of your bandwidth & RAM)
alternatively, i'll recommend a metamask & mycrypto.com combo
Thanks for the tips, I'll give it a go.
To make sure I'm understanding this correctly, for 16gig of ram the cache could be set to 13000?
How big of a hard drive should I purchase in preparation of PoS?
You can do that but from my personal experience i wasn't able to notice much difference with higher amounts (i think the bandwidth can act as a bottleneck here)
--cache=4096should be enoughAbout PoS, the whole concept seems still experimental so i can't answer that outside of pure speculation.
PoS will be proof of AWS/Digital Ocean anyway! /s
Cool, thanks.
