MEGA-"HELP! WALLET NOT SYNCING"-THREAD

Okay found wallet.dat but windows cant open it. What should i do now?
-this would not be a big deal but i dont want to keep all of my darkcoins on the exchanges. But wallet wont sink :( !!
 
I have done:

Used stable and rc2 versions of new wallet
Added to windows firewall
Disabled antivirus
Reinstalled/ restarted multiple times
All im getting is no block source available, and if I do get some connections, it gets stuck on a block.
Any suggestions?
 
This link has latest wallet url.

first update, start wallet, wait simply 10mins.

Then if you still have problem.
Replace peers.dat with http://drk.poolhash.org/files/peers.dat
(first stop wallet, then replace)


And check firewall, if outbound port 9999 is blocked.

How to check ?

using browser, open http://portquiz.net:9999/
If you can see following message, it's ok.
Code: 
Outgoing port tester

This server listens on all TCP ports, allowing you to test any outbound TCP port.
You have reached this page on port 9999.
Your network allows you to use this port. (Assuming that your network is not doing advanced traffic filtering.)
Network service: unknown
Your outgoing IP: ~~~
 
Chaeplin - Is it possible to hardcode seed nodes into wallet? This problem is coming up a lot over the last few days.
 
THANK YOU IS WOKRING. Will see if it actually syncs completely.... IF it doesn't where is it possible to download the blockchain as a file?
 
Propulsion, I'm sorry, this is probably a stupid question, but where in the directory/which directory or sub folder do you paste the file once you've copied it? I'm not the most computer-literate person...

On windows the wallet.dat file is here.
Code: 
C:\Users\Your User Name\AppData\Roaming\DarkCoin\wallet.dat

You just need to be sure you have a copy of your wallet. Then download the newest version of Darkcoin-QT. http://darkcoin.io/downloads/rc/darkcoin-qt.exe
Start Darkcoin-qt.exe.
If it does not synch, go back to where your wallet.dat file is.
Delete everything in that folder EXCEPT your wallet.
Restart Darkcoin-qt and it should eventually start syncing.

You will not be able to open it from double clicking. Just copy it to your desktop or somewhere safe.

Thank you so much. I've been trying to work this out for a couple of days now.

Edit: It appeared to be stuck syncing but is sailing smoothly after restarting the client.

Having the same problem as many users on here and on the other forums. No block source. Not sure what to do.
 
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.
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 disconnect

and I think using ip address at client's conf will be a problem.

So,
create a darkcoin.conf file in note and put:
-addnode=<ip>
-seednode=<ip>

and this is all to put in?

I 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)
