MEGA-"HELP! WALLET NOT SYNCING"-THREAD
- Thread starter chaeplin
- Start date
Hello,
I am also having the same issue. Windows and Ubuntu. 9.3.3 and the 10RC.
I get most of the time 0 active connections. Often I get 1 connection. I have seen several (3 and more) rarely, but blockchain never gets downloaded to any extent - stays at 0 blocks / 16 weeks behind.
Says "No block source available." forever.
I have left clients (wallets) open for several days,
Deleted everything into AppData/Darkcoin folder between different version isntalls,
Tried with my existing backup wallet file and from skratch.
No proggress. Previously my wallet was stuck at certain point in the blockchain (probably at the time it was forked). I though upgrading to a newer client would fix it. But it does not.
It is very frustrating, considering the fact that I am still mining the damn thing as I am typing this. I don't even know how much I have.

Seems many are asking.
First download the latest wallet: https://darkcointalk.org/threads/postponing-masternode-payments-till-may-25th.578/
Find your directory for Darkcoin (In Windows usually under Users, your account, App Data and Roaming. For some you may need to show hidden folders to find it). Delete the peers.dat file and then replace with this http://drk.poolhash.org/files/peers.dat
Open Notepad, enter the following:
addnode=23.23.186.131
addnode=50.16.206.102
addnode=50.19.116.123
addnode=98.165.130.67
addnode=23.21.204.34
addnode=188.142.39.105
addnode=54.248.227.151
addnode=42.121.58.91
addnode=50.81.192.39
addnode=5.254.96.3
addnode=175.115.201.44
Safe the file as a .conf file (note as a .conf.text file...if you need help on that let me know).
Reload the wallet and you should be syncing within a few minutes.

I think to protect seed node using seednode is better.
and I think using ip address at client's conf will be a problem.
Code:
-addnode=<ip> Add a node to connect to and attempt to keep the connection open
-seednode=<ip> Connect to a node to retrieve peer addresses, and disconnectput
Code:
seednode=23.23.186.131
seednode=50.16.206.102
seednode=50.19.116.123
seednode=98.165.130.67
seednode=23.21.204.34
seednode=188.142.39.105
seednode=54.248.227.151
seednode=42.121.58.91
seednode=50.81.192.39
seednode=5.254.96.3
seednode=175.115.201.44I replaced the perrs.dat file and created a text with all the addnode you have listed (right click, new, text document, saved as darkcoin.config
still not working, (no block source available)
1. update wallet
2. check your outbund port 9999 is open.
( using browser open http://portquiz.net:9999/ )
3. wait at least 10 min.

been running for about 20, do I need to increase "connections" to 2 or something?
I loaded the new version on my laptop that has never had any wallets on it and it wouldn't even connect FYI
at least 1.
I have update http://drk.poolhash.org/files/peers.dat
Stop wallet. replace peers.dat. Let see what happen.
yes, don't see anything and I should have seen a pop up when I ran it on my laptop if the firewall was stopping something, right?
Update wallet.

replace peers.dat
Mine is at "/Users/username/Library/Application Support/DarkCoin"

Okay so what if I just replaced the peers.dat file but did not create the extra text with addnodes and it worked? Is it okay to role like this or should I create the extra darkcoin.config file with the addnodes anyways?
Hi. I know how to delete the old peers.dat file, but how do i replace it with the new peers.dat?
