Thanks Majika.
I still can't sync though, stuck on 1352 of 81380 and counting.
debug.log has a lot of 'ProcessBlock: ORPHAN BLOCK, prev=083ac96d7b715085122b' type stuff in it.
edit: my connections keep dropping to zero too. eg. 'connection from 68.96.191.5:51420 dropped (banned)'
Obviously I'm doing something wrong.
ok please check your aerome.conf file double check ports are correct
rpcport=6222
port=6221
I assume that your ports are correct otherwise you will not see any connections.
Next step is to do either one of the following.
> cd ~/.Aerome
-rescan Rescan the block chain for missing wallet transactions
alternatively.
remove the whole aerome dir backup wallet.dat and aerome.conf, reinstall aerome-qt and try to reync again.
if you still having issues after a full resync specifically add the following dnsseed values in the aerome.conf to see if It will force to connect.
-dnsseed Find peers using DNS lookup (default: 1)
dnsseed=aerome.publicvm.com
dnsseed=aerome2.publicvm.com
I have checked the nodes and your IP is not an issue.
Look @ your "startingheight" : 81543 <=== looks like your nearly there.
"addr" : "68.96.191.5:6221",
"services" : "00000001",
"lastsend" : 1424224577,
"lastrecv" : 1424224577,
"conntime" : 1424217153,
"version" : 60015,
"subver" : "/aerome:1.0.0.3/",
"inbound" : false,
"startingheight" : 81543,
"banscore" : 0
},
Failing all the above few steps. Try to kill the process reboot and see if it will resync.
Another suggestion would be to peer from my home/office IP range but lets see how you get on with those bits first.
Manually addnodes=
to your config to get you to sync.
Keep me posted on how your getting on. any problems I will SSH over and fix.
Hi everybody. Just two simple questions because I am not very familiar with the wallets.
1) How does staking work exactly? The wallet has to be open and unlocked? Is that correct? Why unlocked, that makes it vulnerable, right? Rewards is 6%, that is on a yearly basis I guess?
2) How can I open my wallet on another computer using the backup .dat file. In which directory do I have to copy it?
Thank you!
First of all Staking is safe. just make sure you have a really long rcppassword=XGSJDimfkjhbe76kjbhg!!!
Encrypt you wallet (and wallet.dat) so only you have the password. Staking is safe.. just be sure to encrypt your wallet with a really strong password/phrase
and also in the aerome.conf file add a really long password in rcppassword= (24chars + is good enough.)
Example of my config.
dont use the Server=1 option unless you want to act as a node or whatever 
Server=1
listen=1
rpcuser=aeromerpc
rpcpassword=AM345KQ8BbVcXpOolI3ErTaxcV
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
port=6221
rpcport=6222
** if you want to knock staking off for whatever reason you could use this :-
-staking Stake your coins to support network and gain reward (default: 1)
What the config switch settings mean.
-rpcuser= Username for JSON-RPC connections
-rpcpassword= Password for JSON-RPC connections
-rpcport= Listen for JSON-RPC connections on (default: 6222 or testnet: 16222)
-rpcallowip= Allow JSON-RPC connections from specified IP address
