Mist: Node after 2 days nonstop syncing only 70%

[ibart7]

System information

Version: `0.8.10` OS & Version: macOS 10.12.4 (Sierra) 2,6 Ghz Quadcore I7, 16GB DDR3 Node type: `eth/geth 1.6.1`

After I installed Mist, the Node sync job started. At first it the process went very fast, but every hour the blocks per second drops. Currently is about ~1 block per second. Considering I need to sync 1M more blocks, it will take forever to sync it. What's causing this?

Beside that I'm seeing that my Chaindata folder keeps extending. Currently it's 92GB, but I'm only at 70% of the sync process. Is there something wrong? Or is it normal to have a wallet which is ~100GB?

This BC is a COMPLETE POS!!! The wallet is even worse. It doesn't work with GETH nor does it work with Parity. WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON????? OVER A FUCKING WEEK INTO THIS POS!!!

Hello. i don't know what POS is, but this amount of data implies that you
are syncing on the full mode.

Please delete your ~Library/Ethereum/geth/chaindata and start geth like
this:

geth --fast --cache=1024

you can download geth on http://geth.ethereum.org. Then you can start Mist.
It should take on average 2h, maximum 4h.

@evertonfraga that worked perfectly. Thanks you so much. I know finally see my Eth in my wallet.

PS. For the people with similar issues: This youtube movie helped me to start geth in fast mode.
