BlockChain.info Wallet 'Desktop Sync' stuck at 'Getting Balances...'

0

I'm fairly confident I'm doing every thing correctly. Essentially I am trying to sync my BlockChain.info Wallet to my local Bitcoin-Qt app.

I created a bitcoin.conf file with:

server=1
rpcuser=[user]
rpcpassword=[password]
rpcport=8332
rpcssl=0

(These are per BlockChain.info's instructions)

With that being completed, I go back to BlockChain.info and go to Desktop Sync feature. I then install the plugin for browser (on Safari) and it get to step 2! This is great so far, I am then asked for user/pass for RPC to Bitcoind.

I provide name and pass and it's accepted! I tested this by provided intentionally incorrect credentials to verify that it was even connecting properly. So, improper creds show 'user/pass wrong' while correct creds take me to the next page. Good

On the next page, I try to sync and BlockChain.info just reports 'Getting balances...' an that's that. For the fun of it I opened the JS console and it reports that 'balances' is not defined.

Does anyone have any experience with this or any tips?

A similar thing is happening with me, however: The first time I tried it, it was stuck at "Getting Balances..." for ages then eventually changed to "Loading Backups...", with nothing happening vis-a-vis synchronisation. The second time I tried it, was stuck for ages before changing to "Getting Ticker Data". Both times it got stuck on the second phase ("Loading Backups..."/"Getting Ticker Data"). – None – 2013-03-18T19:40:10.440

Thanks for responding! I'm still having issues and put in a support ticket. I'll let you know if I hear anything helpful.vrand 2013-03-20T01:30:07.970
