yup, if you check the end of the logfile at %AppData%\Zcash\debug.log it shows progress= where is a FRACTION, not a percent, so for instance progress=0.9700000 is 97% and 1.00000 is 100% synced
so you can check how far along it is, if it is having trouble or not, etc by checking the end of that file every now and then, and once it is close to 100% fire up the GUI while leaving it running
if there is a running zcashd on the rpc port, it does NOT fire it up on its own
@kbill and @IB76 and anyone else whoâs zcashd is âstuckâ (and this bit of advice goes for windows, linux AND mac! on arm64 or intel!) needs to check your logfile when launching on the command line as above and see if it is actually stuck/crashed or if lines with progress= are still coming inâŚbecause there are some patches of blocks that take almost the whole block interval to verify (google the âbitcoin quadratic verification problemâ, sigh, which zcash inherited from upstream bitcoin 0.11.2)
what that means is that there are some blocks that take 2.5 minutes or more to VERIFY, which is the time between blocks, so when you are verifying those stretches of the blockchain in the past, new blocks come in every 2.5 minutes on average while it is taking you up to 2.5 minutes to verify past ones you are still syncing
once it gets past those bits you donât need to sync them again, and if you launch it at least every few days it should only take a few minutes to get back to 100%
but when its verifying those blocks, it LOOKS like it is âstuckâ, while in reality your computer is merely Very Busy
so please check your debug.log a few times over at least 10-15 minutes and see if the end of the file has new lines coming in or not
it PROBABLY still does and as the man says, âfirst thing you learn is that you always gotta waitâ
but NO MATTER WHAT, so long as you have a textfile export of your private keys, you can always import them onto another node on a different version of Windows, zcash4win or a diff platform entirely.
the keys are the coins, nothing else matters!

First, you should carefully read what your powershell output tells you, see
the 7th line from the bottom?
I had the same so I read the log, started zcashd with a param like it
suggested and it worked.
tl;dr in cmd window type zcashd.exe -reindex
If it does not work, you can try adding 2 more params, -showmetrics=1
-daemon=0 but I doubt these are of any significance.
I see
Open zcashd.exe and its close at once.
Don t understand what I need to do ?!
Please go through this. For what itâs worth, I did not use power shell, just a plain cmd.exe (admin mode) and ran c:\Program Files\zcash4win\app>zcashd.exe -reindex
Hi, This folder doenât has the file âzcashd.exeâ.
the folder C:\Program Files\zcash4win has a âzcash4win.exeâ file.
Iâm using Windows 10 64bits.
Someone can fix it?
Thanks for helping guys.
If youâre missing zcashd, chances are something removed it or blocked it from installing. The most likely culprit is your AV software.
Below is the error I received from running Powershell last night.

help . win 10 x64
Hey Radix,
I have a bit of a niche issue. I have two drives on my computer, and the drive I wanted to install zcash4win on is not my C: Drive. Could you add the option to make it âportableâ, allowing you to chose the primary install directory, and the block chain directory separate from the default values. Iâve fixed the issue using symbolic links, and itâs been working like a dream since. Thanks for the software
-Spy
This has been asked for by dozens of people in this thread. It is something that is planned to implement in some future release. Until then âŚ
it is planned tentatively for the next major release
It is running on powershell and it says;
"downloading blocks 106551 / ~242920 (%43)
** âConnections 8â**
** " Network sloution rate 55880218 Sol/s**
** âYou have validated 5965 transactions !â**
and it keeps validating transactions but it takes more than two minutes to validate next transaction. So I guess this is not stuck but very slow progress, do you think it may take a month to sync %100?
Thanks for all your support and happy holidays!
help plz .start zcash4win error ( a general unexpected critical error has occurred : connection reset
Dear radix42, Iâve done all the things mentioned earlier here for solution of my problem, but it seems nothingâs helping to work it out. And all the problems are exactly the same as the user IB76 has. When it got stuck on 44% according to debug.log it was due to this ERROR: AcceptToMemoryPool: joinsplit requirements not met and then after I started it with reindex it just crushed on bad checksum of block.
2017-12-25 10:03:18 Corruption: block checksum mismatch
2017-12-25 10:03:18 *** System error while flushing: Database corrupted
2017-12-25 10:03:18 Error: Error: A fatal internal error occurred, see debug.log for details
2017-12-25 10:03:18 Error: Failed to connect best block
So my question is - If I install the client on Ubuntu VM on Win will my wallet.dat or private keys exported file from Zcash4win work in linux client?
As long as you have your wallet.dat file and it is not corrupted, you should be fine.
