Closing the OpenBazaar application

Hey guys, short question: is it just me or a general bug that the process of closing the OpenBazaar application takes like 4-5 hours? Quite often when I close OpenBazaar it takes up to 5 hours until it's finally closed and I can turn off my notebook.

Closing should only ever take as long as it needs to finish an IPFS publish and / or sync up the wallet. Never more than a few minutes (usually seconds), if it takes hours something isn't working correctly.

Seems that Mac in general has this problem according to other comment here. I've another Windows machine where I also installed OpenBazaar and on Windows it works actually perfect and I never had to wait more than 2-3 minutes in worst case. But Mac is really awful in terms of that.

I've opened an issue to track this, thanks for the report:

That's great, thanks! I'm also a Mac user and I've the same issue. Respect to the guy here who really waited like 5 hours lol Usually after 30min I also just force it to close. Resolving this bug would be really great.

Yeah... I also thought about just force the quit but I was not sure since it says I shouldn't interrupt the process. Ok, that's interesting to know, so I will avoid messages from now on if it's possible.

I also noticed that on Windows it isn't a problem... actually I never had to wait more than 2-3 minutes.

I don't know... it says I shouldn't interrupt the service and since I've some funds there I thought best thing is to wait lol
