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
Code: [Select]
addnode 162.243.197.231 add and
Code: [Select]
addnode cryptoseed.cloudapp.net:80 add
Code: [Select]
addnode q39.protoshar.es add
