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).

Do not use this post as information for making any important decisions. The only agreements I ever make are informal and non-binding. Take the same precautions as when dealing with a compromised account, scammer, sockpuppet, etc.

For those with corrupt wallet.dat

1) create a folder named protoalt and keep it's path in mind
2)Copy all the files except your wallet.dat into the new folder
3) Create a .bat to start the alternate you have created
3)start your client with -salvagewallet, this does exactly that.
4) once your wallet is recovered, start the alternate client, it will create a new wallet for you.
5) send coins to new wallet and use it as main one now.

Note: it's advisable to keep a copy of all your wallet.dat files in secure seperate storage in case of data corruption.

For those with Client start issues

Try starting your client with -reindex in console. this will reindex the blocks on your hdd and then connect to the network to sync.

Mac os /Applications/ProtoShares-Qt-0.2.0.app/Contents/MacOS/ProtoShares-Qt -reindex
Windows -- /yourpath/protoshares-qt.exe -reindex

No Block source

Make sure you have the updated wallet which has hard coded seed nodes

if it is still not connected go to the debug window and addnode 162.243.197.231 add and addnode cryptoseed.cloudapp.net:80 add addnode q39.protoshar.es add
