very nice `` fixed   ``thanks  Ixcoin community

You need to type "addnode 95.217.77.209 add" for each node.

Use these:

addnode 87.98.159.143 add
addnode 64.71.72.56 add
addnode 95.217.77.209 add
addnode 52.15.150.105 add

Maybe also try with the antivirus off.

The last option would be to just backup your wallet.dat and re-install and download the blockchain from scratch.

I appreciate all the help but still will not sync

[moderator's note: consecutive posts merged]

Type %appdata% into your search and click on roaming>IXCOIN   then rename your wallet.dat to something like wallet.dat1234 so it regenerates a new empty wallet.dat when you close down the executables.Then try syncing up your wallet with zero balance.If it works or doesnt you still can go back and remove/delete the new wallet.dat and rename the one you renamed wallet.dat1234 or whatever back to just wallet.dat to have balance reappear.

Make a back up and save private key if you want using dumpprivkey command in console

Maybe check if your antivirus isn't blocking them. If not, try adding nodes manually and wait some time to see if that works.

You can find a node list at: https://chainz.cryptoid.info/ixc/#!network

Mine is 5 years behind.  Probably Rusted, wet and moldy.  What can I do?  :/

Like Cata said, we had a hard fork so update to new wallet. 

Catacata, it’s giving me anxiety cause I feel it means something but I haven’t been able to figure it out.  It used to all be simple Latin stuff now I gotta put in effort.  lol

hard fork

https://github.com/IXCore/IXCoin/releases/tag/v0.14.1

What does the wallet say? What version are you running?

Are you getting connections?

Please help starting my wallet its stuck - its 2 years behind , any help would be appreciated

Complicated?  Nah, just next level Sophisticated financial instruments that can spread like wildfire if ease of use is
there.  Someone with enough coins/tokens can literally function like a bank.  And no need to move go NY. 

OK so lets continue that story.

Tom, Dick and Harry now each owe Joe some so-called loonies, because they "issued" them to him. Which is to say, he has a bunch of IOUs, or as some call them, tokens, called loonies, a bunch of different loonies in that each of those loonie-IOUs is from a particular "issuer" of loonie-IOUs.

Now Joe, as far as we know so far, is not yet an "issuer" of so called "loonies" himself yet.

So, thinking about inviting Vlad to the group's next get-together and knowing that Vlad likes to use so called IXC, Joe tells his account to trust Vlad for some number of IXC then sets up buy offers pairing Vlad-IXC against Tom-loonies, Dick-loonies and Harry-loonies, since those are what he currently has on hand.

Along comes Vlad. He is going to go to lunch with those guys at their local watering-hole. He has heard the story so he knows those guys use so-called loonies, and he also knows that Joe trusts Tom's loonies and also Dick's loonies and also Harry's loonies.

Vlad decides he might as well introduce those guys to IXCoin.

So Vlad, knowing that Joe is a "hub" for loonies in that crowd, finds out Joe's account and tells his to trust it for "loonies".

Heh heh see what he did there? He made Joe, too, into an "issuer" of loonies!

Now that he trusts Joe-loonies, he can set up trade offers involving Joe-loonies.

Hopefully since Joe is a hub for all those other issuers of loonies Vlad can get away with only having to set up one trust-line for loonies, trusting Joe for them; Joe can be his gateway in and out of loonieville hopefully so that he does not need to separately trust each and every one of all those other guys who issue "loonies". Afterall he knows Joe trusts them, so he can let Joe field all the loonies business for him.

So they all go to lunch. This time it turns out to be Tom's turn to cover the bill.

So everyone else needs to send Tom some kind of IOU that he'll accept.

Joe, of course, can send back to Tom Tom's own loonies, if he has enough to cover his share of today's bill.

Tom decides to trust Dick and Harry for "loonies", just like Joe did last time. They are thus able to issue loonies to him.

Ah but Vlad, Vlad. This is when he makes his IXC pitch...

...

"Sorry but I am not really into the idea of issuing loonies," he says, "so how about either you trust me for IXC, or maybe Joe will trust me for IXC and I'll trade him some IXC IOUs for some loonies IOUs he issues himself?

I should point out though Joe that it can be a very useful practice to use a second account when you issue things, so you can issue them to yourself.

If you create a second account, and have that new account trust your current account for loonies, you will then be able to have that new account make buy and sell offers, offering to sell Dick-loonies for Joe-loonies and to sell Harry-loonies for Joe-loonies. Heck, set up an offer to sell Tom-loonies for Joe-loonies too while you're at it.

Now if you actually issue yourself - your new account - some Joe-loonies, you will have a Joe-loonies balance so that you can offer to buy Tom-loonies, Dick-loonies and Harry-loonies using Joe-loonies.

Presto, you are now a conversion hub!

Anyone whose client supports "pathfinding" conversion between IOUs (or maybe they call them currencies, or tokens, whatever) should hopefully be able to ask to convert any of those kinds of loonies into any other of those kinds of loonies and the "pathfinder" will find the cheapest path to go from one to the other.

Unfortunately some clients might only do pathfinding through things that have "reasonable" volume and spread, but oh well what can I say, some clients are broken compared to the original vision of how this stuff was meant to work.

Now if Joe will set up an offer to buy IXC for Joe-loonies, any time any of you guys wants me to send you any of your various types of loonies I should be able to tell my client I want to send one of your various kinds of loonies and a path should be found whereby my IXC goes through however many people in-between as it takes to end up with the loonies you trust getting to you. That is how it is supposed to work, anyway.

If these puny little phone-apps can't handle that, then at least hopefully I can sell Joe enough IXC to have him send Tom my share of the bill in some flavour of loonies that Tom trusts?

Oh and by the way, Tom, if I can convince Joe to sell me some Joe-loonies for my Vlad-IXC, I'll be able to buy Vlad-IXC using Joe-loonies in the future so if anyone sends you any Vlad-IXC you can sell them to me for Joe-loonies, so I suggest you set up to trust Joe-loonies even though today he had enough other kinds of loonies to pay his share of the bill thus you didn't have to set up to trust his own-issued loonies..."

Complicated? Nahhh...

Thanks for all that.  You’re one guy I’ve always liked from day one.  Glad we have someone like you who sees the potential of old merge mined coins. 

If you do not leave at least the buy-side coin on the exchange though, then all the reporting sites and such are going to say your coin is worthless, because they do not see a strong buy-side; most of them seem to show the highest buy offer, not the last actual trade that happened maybe weeks or months ago, as the current price/value I think?

I suspect that for an easy app, the app has to basically point users at specific assets.

For example there are very likely Stellar apps that are extremely easy to use to send and receive XLM, Stellar Lumens, Stellar's native currency.

Desktop and web-based apps I have seen also tend to list some trusted token-issuers and/or some trusted tokens, based on what the app creators trust; though probably if they are not themselves those issuers likely they have fine-print of some kind warning that they do not legally actually recommend those things, certainly not as "investments", and their lists should not be mistaken for "investment advice" and so on.

So maybe you just need to get an app-developer to make an app that does not confuse users by admitting any tokens other than yours exist, and maybe doesn't even bother providing them with the option of trusting any others but yours, even maybe requiring an update of the app to make any more tokens you later want to add become accessible to them.

Any off the shelf app that does allow the user to decide what account to trust for what label/ticker/token/asset/coin though is just as simple to use for our tokens as for any other tokens that the app it not basically "pushing", although the more volume of trade a token has, and the less the gap ("spread") between its lowest sell offer and its highest buy offer, the more likely it is that users will be able to "discover" the token by searching, since some only show in searches "reasonably high-use low-spread" tokens, requiring the user to already know of a token+issuer pair to specify if that particular token from that particular issuer does not meet the criteria for discovering it by searching for it.

Given that you know the issuing account and label of the asset you want to work with though, which in my case you can discover by browsing http://makemoney.knotwork.com/ , there are several clients that work just fine.

So I think more important than ease of use of clients is ease of discovery that our tokens even exist and what account issues them. Given that, I do not think which client someone uses is much of a problem, other than clients that do not allow users to specify the label and issuer to use and/or do not give access to markets. (The Stellar wallet built into Keybase does not seem to do either; if you have set up trust lines for an account it can receive and send the assets the account does trust, but you cannot add arbitrary trust-lines as far as I can tell and does not seem to provide access to trading, just to sending and receiving.)

Bear in mind that the original concept behind Ripple and thus Stellar, before Ripple Corp bought the name Ripple and the concept from its original developer, was that a bunch of average Joes sitting around drinking beer or having lunch can say "who brought cash or card to pay the bill?" and one of them can say "oh thats me today, here, I'll tell my app to trust each of you for, uh, what do we want to measure this in? Should I trust each of you for some number of meals? Or some number of beers? Or shall we track it in dollars? Oh heck lets just call it loonies being as how we are in Canada, eh? Each of you tell me your account and I'll trust it for oh lets say one hundred loonies. OK, done, now when you go to send me something it should tell you that one of the possibly many things I accept is called loonies. See it there in your apps? OK, now what your app is probably not telling you is that you are an issuer of those loonies! You can each send me up to 100 of them even though your balances do not show you have any of them, and very likely your app is not even telling you that you are able to issue them and maybe also not how many of them my account is willing to accept from you. So anyway, divvy up the bill and send me your share in these so-called loonies that you have magically gained the ability to issue due to my having chosen to trust each of you for some of them..."

Yikes!!!  Well, i try to remove my corn and do underground super cold storage. 

That said, when do you think there’s gonna Be an easy app for regular Joe to use stellar and horizon? 

You do realise that unless there is some kind of "atomic swap between blockchains" app that supports the IXCoin blockchain and some other blockchain you want to trade against, you always ARE exchanging your IXC coins for at best IXC tokens and at normal mere database entries in an undistributed database at the exchange's site or server?

That is to say, on normal exchanges when you deposit IXCoins they usually do not even give you IXC tokens to play with, all you usually get is a "balance" recorded in a MySQL or PostGres or whatever kind of database they use to record customer info and balances.

So if tokens are not a good deal for you presumably mere database entries are a far worse deal?

Hahaha.  So glad to hear it was somebody here.  Better than merits as long as you have time to dump before me.   

I caught your 50k stack quicker than a wombat catches covid and am just waiting for my moment to poop it all over your moon parade 

But that would mean exchanging my ixc coins for ixc tokens.  Not a good deal for me.  And until stellar and horizon become user friendly I doubt many people will go for it.  I got my corn buried deep and wide so not too worried unless the feds want them, but then again, they print and steal trillions with no questions asked so buying what they want is trivial.

Mark, is that you still market making on exchanges?  Man you’re a patient resilient guy.  Much appreciated.  So I hope it was you who caught most of that 50k I dumped at market down to 1 penny last month and not some pump and dumper.
