Daedalus 2.0 stuck verifying the blockchain 0%

hey folks, check to see if windows is blocking the program. I bet that will solve your issue. Cheers

He didn’t say that he was using Windows, but more generally and whatever the OS, the logs are often useful to understand the reason behind the delay. Either you read them or you start Daedalus from the CLI, i.e. cmd.exe on Windows or the shell on GNU/Linux.

The reason why it won’t verify is because it’s a horrible wallet, slower than a tortoise. Sure it’s safer than the others, but what’s this safety for if you can’t even use it when you need it. Anytime there’s a project going on it takes only about 2000 people trying to use Daedalus to completely choke the traffic and make it extremely slow to verify or send ADA.

proceeds to explain how Daedalus is a full node, not a lite wallet - and also proceeds to tell the user to use a lite wallet
Sure, why not. It still sucks as a wallet tho! ha
