Thanks for the help!
no problem dude
I've tried reinstalling, tried the installer, tried deleting from roaming dir and resyncing, tried with an unencrypted wallet, tried with an unlocked wallet, it just does not work on 8.1 for me. And no I'm not going to try it on win 7, web, andriod, ios, as I shouldn't have too if i want it on win 8.1 and i've spent enough time on it as it is. So i'll just not bother with the wallet as it stands at the moment.
Mine was doing the same thing until I added a distrocoin.conf file to "user"\AppData\Roaming\Distrocoin. The .conf file had
listen=1
daemon=1
server=1
rpcuser=XXX
rpcpassword=XXXX
rpcallowip=*
rpcport=53389
rpcconnect=127.0.0.1
Of course the username and password were different. I am using Windows 8.1.
Thanks for your help. Send us your DISTRO address. Thanks again.
