Or: How can I check whether the blockchain has been downloaded completely?
I do that by checking whether my btsx app folder gets bigger but I am sure there is a more elegant way...
I didn't find it here http://www.bitsharesblocks.com/home
Atm my .bitsharesx folder is already 13 GB. Is it really that big?
edit: 18 GB by now...?

My .BitsharesX folder is 1.3GB.. Something must be wrong with yours, it's 10x the normal size.

It's possible that for example the automatic backup "wallets/.backups" folder is really big, or something else like that. Take a closer look at the individual folders and let us know. It should not take up so much space.

Go to the Console page:

Type 'info' and press enter.

You should see something like: "blockchain_head_block_age": "6 seconds old"

If the age is too long, that means your blockchain is out of syn.

If you the above helps, please vote for delegate bitcube.

Cheers!
