For those Gridcoin users who still don't know (I discovered it several days ago) that new Gridcoin Wallet for Mac is available!
I like it much better than PC version, also I'll keep it most of the time Online on my Mac laptop (to help the system and later for staking) and will use for transactions, as I work mostly on Mac laptop.
Here is how it looks:
When you donwload it, it will take you several days to process transaction history, i.e. 2 days ago when I downloaded it, it was 1000+ days behind. Right now when I'm writing this, I have 147 days left (of transactions which are needed to be processed), so soon, in several hours I'll have wallet up to date, and even will receive some GRC which I claimed from Faucet to have something on my new wallet.
You can download it here: https://github.com/Git-Jiro/homebrew-jiro/releases

My New Gridcoin MAC Address is: S9s18HFXMbWRegQaaro6zbRGVXcMzaU2Z1
I wrote a guide for this on the Grid Coin Wiki located here: http://wiki.gridcoin.us/OS_X_Guide
Thanks!
You should have used a snapshot or bootstrap to sync in 30 minutes.
How? It seems to me, if somebody is going to use new wallet on new computer - anyway this process of syncing should take time (around a day, sometimes more, sometimes less)
Go to the GRC and type "!bootstrap" or "!snapshot howto". It will deliver instructions to you with the latest links to the bootstraps or snapshots.
I generally use the snapshots.
Thanks!
http://download.gridcoin.us/download/downloadstake/ also on irc.freenode.org #gridcoin our friend and bot fediverse and the command !snapshot will give you alt mirrors , the above URL is the official signed snapshot. It takes the same from 0 to the current block 1056945 no matter what platform and architecture that is dependent on system speed and network :) . My issue is , I still have not been able to get it to work on my i5 m540 osx 10.9 machine :( and I have figured out its due to qt5 vs the linux/win qt4 or if we have moved now to qt5. I have a silver g5 tower and have ported the code with the help of Ravon to PPC64 GNU Linux but in unfortunately it has not been merged into the current source code... You can always compile per yourself after all OSX is BSD.
