Hi!

There is an option to remove the blockchain database of the wallet then re-sync it again.

Have you tried this before?

or there is a workaround by adding more relays in the config files:

3

I used the old passphrase to recover this wallet that isn’t syncing. Do I use that same passcode again or has it transferred to a new passphrase?

4

Now It finally Synced but won’t Sync Wallet, is stuck at 0%

ADA

5

Do you have a printscreen about the diagnostics menu? CTRL+D

Hope once reaching synced state the wallet will start to sync as well

In all my years of Crypto this is the worst wallet. I can’t even connect to get my money out! Thanks for your help

Daedalus wallet provides you the true decentralized experience… sometimes it is not as good as it should.
if you need a lightweight solution try YOROI - same privacy without blockchain synchronization.

10

Cheers I’ll remember that if I can recover my coins

11

all you need to move from Daedalus to YOROI is the recovery phase.

It doesn’t recover 12 Phrase Byron . Unless i’m missing something

I would made some modification on the Daedalus config - to change the sync server address to any other which is closer to your wallet. Windows or Linux is the host machine?

14

I am using windows

15

will give you some updates tomorrow

It is not like other wallets. It is full node wallet that is built to secure the network.
You are using it for a wrong purpose. What you want is Yoroi.

17

he is using it for on purpose!

So just found the topology.yaml file under the installation folder - the default is c:\Program Files\Daedalus Mainnet

the file by default contains IOHK sync server

{
  "Producers": [
    {
      "addr": "relays-new.cardano-mainnet.iohk.io",
      "port": 3001,
      "valency": 1
    }
  ]
}

but this can be extend with more relay available on the network - that is the official list:
https://explorer.cardano-mainnet.iohk.io/relays/topology.json

So an example how to extend the list with another relay (note that continent and state should not be mentioned, instead the valency)

{
  "Producers": [
    {
      "addr": "relays-new.cardano-mainnet.iohk.io",
      "port": 3001,
      "valency": 1
    },
    {
      "addr": "54.220.20.40",
      "port": 3002,
      "valency": 1
    }
  ]
}

So once you added more relays, save the file and restart the wallet. Hope by adding more relays to the topology will result a quicker sync time. Just tested and worked for me.

It’s finally worked this morning, just had to reinstall it 5 times. The steps I took were 1) wait for it to Sync before adding any wallets, 2) add a new wallet 3) THEN add the old wallet. Thanks for the help, I’m never using this Wallet again :wink:
