Quick question why when I download the wallet from the opal-coin.com website and open the wallet up, I get no connections and when I go to the debug window and type getwork what pops up is shadowcash has no connections?? This is the wallet I download straight from the Opal coin website is it not? So why am I getting this message and no connections? Could someone please help me with this problem?
Actually it says ShadowCoin is not connected?? Has anyone had this problem with this?
I have been staking for a month and never had that error. Did you get your computer cleaned out? If you can't get it clean, you may just want to reinstall a new OS on a different drive and then find some of your important files you need on the old drive and move away from it. Then if you are really into investing in Crypto I suggest you have a computer just for your wallets no browsing. You may also want a beefier defense with a better firewall that does stateful packet inspection and has an ARP Cache with Anti-Virus and Intrusion Protection on it. Watchguard has a few entry level devices that will even drop unassociated packets and block DDoS attacks. I get port scanned everytime I download a wallet from MegaDownload it seems like. Kind of a hotbed of activity associated with wallets there.
Well I've deleted everything that is OPAL on my computer but everytime I download the wallet it does the same thing? I don't know if that's because of the malicious link I downloaded in the past? Does anyone know how I can get this wallet up and running? Would greatly appreciate the help
Not the fastet way, but the safest: format your drive and reinstall your OS.
I'm pretty dumb when it comes to computers so what exactly do you mean by format my drive and reinstall my OS? What exactly is an OS?
Best time now to get some knowledge!
It is necessary if you work with crypto imo.
Format your drive (harddrive, hdd or ssd) means to delete everything on it. Then reinstall your OS (operating system, windows, mac os x, linux... )
But you should ask someone to help if you never did this. I guess you have windows or mac?
Also backup everything, pics, music, data... if you want to reinstall.
