i'm a new user. i have not gotten my wallet to sync in the 3 days since i signed up. i'll continue to BOINC as I have for the last 6 years, but I've about lost my patience with getting this POS (not talking about staking) to work. I agree with the OP that this project only appealed to my personal greed. I think your project will die a slow death if you can't even make it stable for new users. But I'll continue to BOINC. Don't forget that gridcoin is not the be all end all. BOINC will survive and grow without gridcoin because there will always be people like me who will contribute to the advancement of science for free.

We've had some bad syncing/forking issues lately. Are you on the v3.7.8.0 or higher wallet? If you can't resolve I recommend waiting until we get a more stable wallet in place.
Unfortunately the new user onboarding process has never received much attention. We should really have some type of wizard set up for new users that is directly integrated into the client.
it is 3.7.10 already ;)
There were some bad issues letely. The current 3.7.10 version should work fine. Please download it again from gridcoin.us (if on windows, delete earlier .msi files) and try again.
