Title: My wallet does not connect - I tried add node.
Post by: ronjohnson on January 04, 2014, 09:24:36 pm
I downloaded the wallet from the site and strangely it didn't have an install file. So, I put the folder on my C: drive and then shortcutted to my desktop.

Problem is it's  not connecting.

I tried to add node at debug window and I also tried to add the additional line to the executable: ie this: -connect=168.63.12.227:80

Any other ideas what I might do???

If addnode doesn't solve your "no block source"problem (sometimes firewall setting results in it), you can use the new version wallet(window version), suggested by Bytemaster in https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=355.60

It has nodes embedded, and proved functional by many people (no exception yet).

Please use updated post: https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=355.msg2864#msg2864
168.63.12.227 not valid anymore use cryptoseed.cloudapp.net instead.

The link to the zip not working for me. I'll try the other addnode suggested.

What about some of these?

Code: [Select]
   
162.243.197.231
{"49.89.6.185", "49.89.6.185"},
    {"222.174.212.250", "222.174.212.250"},
    {"183.8.183.73", "183.8.183.73"},
    {"173.208.148", "173.208.148"},
    {"169.237.74.213", "169.237.74.213"},
    {"175.42.27.186","175.42.27.186"},

The first is a node I run and I just checked that it's up

Thank you. I tried all of those - except for the one that is not an IP address.  Still nothing.

Any other ideas? Addnode of cryptoseed not working and can't download anything from that link.

Sometime addnode doesn't work due to firewall setting or local network ports.  I tested that download link, it's indeed down, but I don't know why. I uploaded that wallet to my dropbox, you can try if you trust me or don't mind the security issue.  https://www.dropbox.com/s/d8hexz7ko8jaewu/ProtoShares-0.4.0.zip

Done. Fixed. That last addnode did it for me I guess. Thanks all! Resolved.
