ok. this should help. hopefully you will have done a backup. i deleted my mintcoin file in appdata/roaming. deleted the mint wallet. downloaded and reinstalled the mint wallet.run wallet then shut it. open app/roaming again and open the mintcoin folder. create a new .conf file with
testnet=0
listen=1
addnode=198.241.46.170
addnode=162.243.4.85
addnode=211.28.143.54
addnode=46.4.95.176
addnode=192.241.215.76
addnode=111.126.201.199
addnode=14.107.225.71
addnode=162.243.222.26
addnode=144.76.64.123
addnode=89.71.42.172
addnode=212.247.109.253
maxconnections=100
server=1
daemon=1
rpcuser=your name
rpcpassword=your password
rpcport=12789
rpcconnect=127.0.0.1

then relaunch wallet,let it sync. then put your saved wallet.dat file back into the mintcoin file in app/roaming.let it sync again.sorted.

my mint address is in my sig. if it works for you i would appreciate any tips.cheers

so has anyone had any success with my suggestion???

This is how I got mine to sync.  I am not 100% current and mining in a pool.  I will send some mint your way once I actually own some Smiley   Right after I got it working, the new Windows wallet was released.  I agree with other posts, it shoudl be a little easier to use like most all other wallets.

Grin Grin    Finally got Mac Wallet syncing   Grin Grin

When I say syncing, I mean 2 active connections yo! Smiley

Here's how I did it for anyone who still needs to get it working.

1) Download mintcoin-qt.zip from the OP.
2) Go to downloads and extract, you should then see a nice green icon 'mintcoin-qt' - drag this to your applications folder.
3) Open mintcoin from application folder (if it doesn't sync/connect go to step 4)
4) Open the finder, at the top bar of mac You'll see The apple logo, Finder, File, Edit, View, Go etc.  - Click 'Go' so that the menu drops down, then hold down the ALT key and you will see 'Library' appears in that list, click it.
5) Go to Application Support > MintCoin & Paste in the Mintcoin.Conf file. Smiley
The .Conf file should contain:
'testnet=0
listen=1
addnode=198.241.46.170
addnode=162.243.4.85
addnode=211.28.143.54
addnode=46.4.95.176
addnode=192.241.215.76
addnode=111.126.201.199
addnode=14.107.225.71
addnode=162.243.222.26
addnode=144.76.64.123
addnode=89.71.42.172
addnode=212.247.109.253
maxconnections=100
server=1
daemon=1
rpcuser=yourser
rpcpassword=yourpw
rpcport=12789
rpcconnect=127.0.0.1'

6) Reopen wallet from Applications folder, begin sync. Smiley

It shouldn't have to be so complicated to get the wallet to sync. What on earth is wrong with it? I never have this issue with other wallets. I hope the developers fix this with a wallet update. This is going to suck when it comes time for the PoS minting to start.

deinstall and reinstall your wallet, you did something wrong! just read trough the many pages of posts how to make it work and use google how to make your wallet work.
try to use the new release of the wallet.
most have no problem with the wallet so it must be a problem on your and of those that dosnt work pc.

Check also your firewall that is set properly to allow the wallet to connect to the network!!

Try the addnode list I posted above?

Can we spread the hash around a little. Our pool needs some more power:
http://mint.dogemoon.com

Thanks

sent my 600khs rig to your pool

with a lower pool hashrate you should market to people with smaller rigs they will get better rewards than being in the big pools with high hash rate.

Just a thought

Thanks Smiley

Maybe we can try and focus on smaller rigs but then we don't want to exclude anyone either.

delete the wallet and reinstall. i think some wallets must have become screwed up somehow

New wallet available for Windows. Should improve syncing issues. Not mandatory if your is already syncing.

Mirror: https://mega.co.nz/#!IAggFAYR!2WmuV2cUc0k2mVO6zvGr5UCAIeOoUwveyCU3Yp9kEvQ

always backup to an external drive or usb. i have mine backed up to 2 different hard drives

the wallet won't just disappear or change the address.. unless you mistakenly deleted the wallet.dat file?

If anyone could donate to offset my loss of 1M coins, here is my new(now backed up) address: MimwZXkz2RKvhZDCbfDyWPHb1iUC1aDWW3  . I'd really appreciate it.

Somebody has to know what to do, the wallet can't disappear just like that. Have you looked for a second mint folder in 'roaming' or searched your computer for wallets? There are also many on the forum who's wallet has been stolen by a trojan Sad

for PoS I don't understand how to mine:

mintcoin-qt -server
mintcoind walletpassphrase true

Where should I paste thoses commands that are in first post?

first one in a cmd Window to open wallet

second one in a debug window of the wallet

this is only when you encrypt you wallet, otherwise you don't need to do it.


I get this message in my debug file wondering if this is the case...

ERROR: GetMyExternalIP() : connection to 91.xxx.22.xx:80 failed  took out the numbers but its a full ip

this error too ERROR: CAddrman::Read() : open failed

IRC connect failed
IRC waiting 71 seconds to reconnect
trying connection 66.18.xx.23 lastseen=0.0hrs

this is just the normal connection messages I think, some nodes your client can not connect, they timed out etc. These nodes could be off the port of mintcoin (e.g. not running mintcoin client). I have a bunch of these, but I am able to connect to some other nodes.

You had IRC conect failed too? I have been reading and what it says is it wont connect to the wallet if i cant connect to irc to get the other ips that are working

took about 5 mins. must have been something messed up so reinstalling the wallet help. feel free to tip and leave trust if it helped you. only good if you backed up though.
