What port does Bitstar use?

I can't anymore remember what to do with the list of nodes? Some kind of conf file?

You create a Bitstar.conf file in your roaming path for Bitstar folder
Normally it's here C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\Bitstar\
Use your pc username instead of yourusername above

add the following in Bitstar.conf

rpcuser=username
rpcpassword=password
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcport=62124
port=62123
gen=0
server=1
addnode=seed.bitstarcoin.com
addnode=seed2.bitstarcoin.com
addnode=seed3.bitstarcoin.com
addnode=seed4.bitstarcoin.com

This is the post I am using.

change the port=62123 line to port=41123 (or something else)

On other news, we now have 11 nodes online all between 100mbit and 1gbit

It's just not doing it. I'm still getting the same error.

If its the exact same error, then its not loading the config file, so either the config file is named wrong or your putting it in the wrong place. It needs to be bitstar.conf (Bitstar.conf on *nix) and it needs to be in %appdata%/bitstar folder

(Bitstar.conf on *nix) What does this mean?

Bitstar is not running in the background. I checked the task manager and Deleted everything except the wallet.dat and the fast start. I renamed the bitstar.conf to bitstarcoin.conf. None of this has made any difference. I am still getting the same error message. If it is the wrong port, how do I change the port?

You also need to delete all config files.

That error means the coin is already running in the background or another process is using the port that bitstar needs, to fix this there are a few things to try.

Check the task manager to make sure bitstar isn't still running in the background
Reboot your pc
change the config so it uses a different port (port=differentporthere eg port=13253)

The program is not running in the background I don't think. I deleted the whole wallet including uninstalling the previous version and I still get the same message.

change the config so it uses a different port (port=differentporthere eg port=13253)

That's the bitstar.conf file, a text document that I created with notepad and copy and pasted the info from a previous post and put in the roaming folder, correct? because I couldn't tell that that made any difference at all. Maybe I'm not doing it right. I don't know.

I think you should name the conf file to bitstarcoin.conf like in litecoin litecoin.conf?!

10 seconds after starting, I get

This is exactly the same thing that is happening to me. My wallet has never worked since the new version came out. I would like to get my 25% staking at some point.

I would sell mine, but I can't get my wallet to sync. I have been waiting patiently for the better part of three months for my wallet to sync but it won't sync. I've had to restart the process several times and I'm not going to start it again. Now my wallet won't even open. This coin may be a complete loss for me. I'm glad someone likes this coin though.

Have you tried the fast start pack in the OP and that has been mentioned multiple times?

Yes sir, I have tried the fast pack and I have tried it multiple times. Maybe I'm doing something wrong I don't know. All I know is that I have about six coins on my computer and they all download fine and they work as they should but this coin just won't sync.

Very odd, I have about 30 wallets and all download fine including Bitstar. I've also installed bitstar on 4 more servers over night using the new fast start pack and all are already up to date and feeding into the block chain.

And you have been so helpful with getting everyone else's coins running properly. That kind of professionalism is what is going to make this coin take off. Now if I can just get my coin to open.

This is really rare, but I believe I had it happen to me once and it was this: the default port for a coin (not Bitstar) was already being used by some other software installed on my PC and it wouldn't sync for the life of me! When I changed the port for that coin in the config file, it finally worked (and during this all my other coins worked, so it was really weird!). Could it be something like that going on? Also have you tried a different PC? I have my Bitstar wallet installed on three different PC's and they all work fine.

I just finished the reorganisation of our seed/block chain nodes, added 4 new servers at locations around the world then made sure the 4 fastest are set up as the seed nodes as a couple of the old ones were getting a bit slow.

So we now have 8 server nodes feeding into the block chain, will added at least 2 more this weekend, hopefully this should help with the speed of syncing.

That is a good news! Would you wanna share any near term developments for bits to come and maybe something for long term?

Near term the main thing is to get the block chain as stable as possible, so we're upgrading and adding new nodes and running tests with different databases for the wallet, we're also moving it away from the qt compiler.

Other than that we are working on quite a few things in he background, but they're not ready quite yet as we've moved focus back to getting the block chain as strong as possible in readiness for them.

Thanks Mark81, yes we're in the process of updating a lot of our systems, we're adding 8 more 100mbit servers to the block chain, a new command and control system for monitoring these servers, a daily fast start pack and bootstrap pack, new installers that offer to download the block chain as part of the install process and finally updating the website and OP with FAQ.

Behind the scene's is lot happening. Everyone, this coins dev team is great and maybe things aren't happening as fast as we want but better have things done nice and easy than have nothing to done. Good work team! Things are build up from ground and not top to fragile systems.
