Mac Darkcoin wallet out of sync

[hypnautikz]

So for the last couple of days i've kept my wallet open all day and my wallet has not synced at all. I'm a little bit puzzled as to why this happening.

I use a MAC system so if theres any fixes I would be grateful. I'm currently using the latest version of the wallet which was released this month.

Close Darkcoin-Qt, remove peers.dat (located in ~/Library/Application Support/Darkcoin/), start Darkcoin-Qt. This will force wallet to find new peers and you should get in sync quite fast.
If it doesn't work for you send me debug.log pls (you can find it in the same location) [email protected]

Looking in that folder you said and I cannot see Darkcoin at all.

make sure it's ~/Library.... and not /Library....
EDIT: which means that it's in your user folder and not in disk root

Received, thanks. Your client bans (almost?) every masternode it tries to get blocks from... interesting, will look into it. Meanwhile to fix this issue fast please remove peers.dat once again and use https://github.com/UdjinM6/darkcoin-bootstrap to sync.

Anything I need to run?

Just download, unzip, grab extracted bootstrap.dat and place it in that folder I mentioned earlier.Then run Darkcoin-Qt. It will recognize this file automatically and start to load blocks from it.

Nope, still says no blocks source

Hmm... strange.... ok...
1) grab the latest 0.11.1.25 from https://www.darkcoin.io/downloads/ and install it as usual
2) remove peers.dat and debug.log files and also blocks and chainstate folders
3) drop bootstrap.dat in that folder (or rename bootstrap.dat.old there back to bootstrap.dat)
4) run Darkcoin-Qt
Now it should say "Importing bootstrap.dat..." and will take ~40-50 minutes to finish.

Ahh.. right.. this message goes to log only and UI should say "Importing blocks from disk..."
