168.63.12.227 has changed IP, instead IP please use DNS name: cryptoseed.cloudapp.net
https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=355.msg2864#msg2864

i tried this and it worked , but my client is now "syncing wiht network" but so damn so this might take a month lol !

Don't worry it's will take maximum 1 hour to sync all blocks from scratch.

thank you so much, for those using the Help --> Debug window --> Console put this in the box and hit enter: addnode cryptoseed.cloudapp.net:80 add

I am having the dreaded No block source available problem.

I am using Protoshares version v0.8.5.0-unk-beta
When I first set it up a few weeks ago I had this issue but it resolved itself after I added nodes through help->debug->console. It was working and then I joined ypool to take a crack at mining, but ever since then I have not been able to get Protoshares to update. I don't know if that is related, I retried adding a few nodes including addnode 168.63.12.227 add which returns an error:Noode already added. I have tried restarting the client and leaving it on for long periods of time, and tried using the client with the ypool thing off all with no luck. thanks in advance for any suggestions?

Can you try to use the client mentioned in https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=1936.msg22333#msg22333 by ripplexiaoshan?

Adding nodes doesn't work for 0.2.0 version wallet sometimes. Win version user can resolve it by updating to the latest  0.4.0 version wallet, but it seems Mac OS version is still 0.2.0, hope the developer can update it as soon as possible.

the correct syntax is
Code: [Select]
addnode 168.63.12.227 add

please post questions in the tech support board, it makes it easier for us to track and faster for us to respond to your queries

I have the same problem.

Mavericks is probably the worst version of osx ( imo )

Thanks for the help, but nothing works.  I've added all kind of nodes that were posted in the forum, but it won't work either way.  Right now I feel like giving up as I had various problems on my mac with the wallet.  Maybe I'll be buying a linux computer.  Looks like it is not really made for mac.

I use it on a mac without problem.   There are bugs with Mavericks though.
