Hey all,
Brand new as of today. I dl'd the 0.9.3 Windows client.
Starting to setup new account but the client says:
The wallet needs to be fully synchronized with the blockchain in order to create an account. Please be patient.
How long should this take?
Thanks for any help.

Hi diocletian,
welcome to the BitShares community.
Unfortunatelly, the BitShares 1 client is quite "heavy" .. depending on your hardware this may take several hours ..
As an alternative I would recommend to use wallet.bitshares.org (which is a light web wallet).

Hi Diocletian,
Welcome, welcome, welcome.
Xerox is on the money. I went for the web based wallet because it takes minutes to get up and running.
