I shoud make Bootstrap.dat, but I don't know how to.
https://litecoin.info/Bootstrap.dat

bootstrap.dat allows a new client (not synced) to rapidly import the initial blocks from
a local file instead of slowly downloading blocks from random peers.
This significantly reduces the time it takes to get a client synced with the current blockchain.


So here is tared blocks and chainstate directory.

1) backup your wallet(use backup menu or after close darkcoind, copy wallet.dat to other folder)
2) close(stop) darkcoind, darkcoin-qt
3) download http://drk.poolhash.org/files_for_darckoin_block/files_for_darckoin_block_0404.tgz
extract it.
tgz has blocks and chainstate

4) find darkcoind or darkcoin-qt folder.
(linux ~/.darkcoin )(windows, mac : not sure)
rename ~/.darkcoin/blocks to anything
rename ~/.darkcoin/chainstate to anything

5) move downloaded file to darkcoin folder
blocks to ~/.darkcoin/blocks
chainstate to ~/.darkcoin/chainstate

6) run darkcoind or darkcoin-qt

Yes. first update your darkcoind or darkcin-qt.

Man it's not sincronizing again...I deleted all the content in the /Roaming/Darkcoin folder (except for my wallet) and launched the client.
It sincs until few hrs ago, then it's only a "Connection timed out" error. Can I just download again the block and chain folder?

Don't do that again.

I think it's peer connection problem.
close client.
remove peers.dat

If you use "connect=" parameter in your darkcoin.conf, remove it.
==> -connect=<ip> Connect only to the specified node(s)

download http://drk.poolhash.org/files_for_darckoin_block/peers.dat.tgz
(ip address of known darkcoin p2p node)
extract it to darkcoin data directory.

run again client.

I can't sync anymore either. Since yesterday. 11 hours behind now. :/
Tried the peers.dat replacement, that didn't work. Haven't tried the block file thing yet. (I'm on windows.)
And yes, I'm using 9.1.0-unk-beta
 
newbie here. I have already viewed other threads on this topic, but they dont help me. Cant get wallet to sync. Says no block sources. Any suggestions? No problems with litecoin, dogecoin wallets.
tx
 
Tx for the response but i dont understand. Ok, so i download the newest windows wallet from the dark coin homepage - done that. What is the wallet.dat file? What is my directory?
Sorry, major newb.
 
The wallet.dat should be in the folder named %Appdata/Roaming/Darkcoin in the C:\ disk driver.
The wallet says no block sources has it does not find any local blockchain, but it should start downloading from the net.
 
Me too, again...
Seriously there needs to be a place where we can always get the latest version of the wallet.
what is the latest version of the wallet anyway, 0.9.1?

What's not there your wallet file or the newest Darkcoin-qt link?

If using windows in the search bar above the start button type in
Code: 
%appdata%
Then click on the folder that pops up, it should be titled "roaming"
You'll see a bunch of folders for all your different programs. Click on "darkcoin".
Your wallet is there, saved as "wallet.dat".
 
I did exactly what you said and the wallet fiile is not there. I go C:/user/owner but there is no app/data/roaming/wallet.dat. To open my wallet i have to go C:/user/owner/downloads/darkcoin-qt. I open the wallet and get "out of sync". No wallet.dat in that folder either.
