Can't seem to connect to peers. Internet connection works fine for everything else. Here is the output from listing potential peers (truncated for brevity):

What does "get_info" report? Note this is different from "blockchain_get_info".

Your blockchain is not in sync.

Try this:

1) Open Windows Explorer. Go to %appdata%\BitShares X
2) Backup your wallet folder by making a folder copy to another location
3) Delete everything EXCEPT your wallet
4) Launch the wallet app. You will see 'Not Connected'.  Wait for about 10 to 30mins and it will start to sync.

If you the above works for you, please vote for delegate bitcube.  ;)

I'm on OS X. Can you give me similar instructions on which files to keep vs trash on my platform. I believe I've located:

~/Library/Application Support/BitShares X/

as the base directory.

Here is what I did:

Made a backup of my wallet from the GUI and saved it on my desktop just for safety. I also backed up the BitShares X directory to the desktop (that's the first command). The code below moves the wallet directory one dir up. Then we delete the entire contents of the BitShares X dir. Then we move the wallet file back into the BitShares X directory. The backslashes are there to deal with spaces in the directory names for unix.

Code: [Select]

cp -Rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/BitShares\ X/ ~/Desktop/
mv -Rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/BitShares\ X/wallet ../
rm -Rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/BitShares\ X/*
mv -Rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/wallet ~/Library/Application\ Support/Bitshares\ X/wallet

Cheers!

Well done!  You got it.  :)
