Why do you advise to download the Mist /Ethereum Wallet , when it takes up to 14 days (in my case) to sync with the entire blockchain, this is the issue is the most common problem reported with new ethereum users.
Even after 14 days my sync failed countless time and my ether has not arrived in the wallet….which means I can’t access it.

I see there is a far faster way by using a program called ‘Geth — fast’
This …according to many youtube videos only takes maybe 4–8 hours to Sync?

I’m still trying to set it up. Why hasn’t this been highlighted?
