I think i need a seed node to connect to so i can fix the problem, does anyone have one?
Does this work for you?
addnode=45.55.195.243:27879
would i need to reinstall the blockchain after adding that seed node?
I wouldn't think so, but it couldn't hurt to try if you still can't sync - the blockchain isn't that big yet.
I also get this when opening wallet, not sure if this is the cause of the problem, my wallet works fine on desktop but on vps my wallet is always behind the blockchain despite saying its in sync

If you are using Windows, I think you can click on the Date/Time on the lower right toolbar, select "Change date and time settings..."
Then, click on the "Internet Time" tab on the Date and Time window that appears.
From there you should be able to select a time server to sync with, such as time.nist.gov
Not sure if that will help, but it's all I've got
