Why Ethereum Wallet takes so long to synchronize

[coinhunter]

Is it me or does the ethereum wallet take an awful lot of time to synchronize?
Have been trying to synchronize it since 1 week!

Depends on the computer and internet connection I think

is it definitely his influence from that side of the device we use? maybe not because of the others !!

if you worried about synchronize, why you dont use a website wallet?

[rahul10948]

its because of to many blocks are now mining in ether network....so it will take more time now

Use MyEtherWallet.  It's a paper wallet and you don't need to download the blockchain to use it.

F2A doesn't work for MEW, so be carefully!
Be careful with fake MEW websites, they will take control of our account.
Do not log in and trade coin on EtherDelta, they get wallet codes and keys, then steal coins from wallet.

Have they private keys in possession? I'm trading airdropped coins and selling them at ATH because there is no other platform to trade the new airdropped ones.

I wonder if there is a way I can trace airdrops in etherdelta. I submitted etherdelta wallet for airdrops instead if mew. Please guidelines will be appreciated

Don't bother even trying to sync the blockchain using geth (which is what the official wallet uses) if you have a HDD rather than an SSD. 

All in all, I found myetherwallet to work better due to geth syncing issues.  You can clone the github repository if you don't want to use their website.
