Title: HI very new please help if u can
Post by: danielauhlig on December 25, 2013, 07:47:55 pm

Hi, I just tried to download the bitshare client and the blocksource is unavailable, I know there is another thread however i have zero computing knowledge and dont undstand anything about nodes and what have you. I actually thought i might try some solo mining is that even possible as a total novice or do i have to join a mining poos?? I have bought and sold cryptos for about a year now but thought i might try my hand at this seems though I have already fallen on the first hurdle,

Other than that are these bitshares being sold at any of the exchanges yet?

Thanks!

BitShares are not available yet, what you downloaded is ProtoShares which will give you BitShares when they come out early 2014.

You may have to manually add nodes and there are many posts with help already on the forum.   Usually if you give it some time it will work.

The PTS client has a debug window, which can be found under the help menu. After that, you can go to the console, found next the the information tab. From there, you can add new nodes.

Where can I locate a node? and what does one look like?
