Why Steem Power instead of Steem? You can't buy or sell Steem Power can you? So there is no way to cash in mining rewards?

I'm getting the same thing. I'm curious to know how long it takes you or what the fix was. I'll let you know as well.

How long should it take to sync the blockchain? I've been seemingly in the sync phase for a couple hours now. I am blazing through line after line showing: 3087137ms th_a witness.cpp:430 on_applied_block

For whatever reason, logging out and logging back in seemed to fix the issue and I now see the balance in my wallet. Just a heads up in case anyone else experiences a similar issue.
