If this is bad advice then someone please post because I am far from a bitcoin wallet expert and I make no claims I know what the heck I am talking about.
I even starte darkcoin as admin, creating a full new profile and a new wallet, freezes at the exact same place.
Same freeze, same block, new computer, new OS, new wallet.
The icon in the task bar of this screen shot is showing the original 'xcoin' logo, which means that your using an outdated version of Darkcoin ?
Download the latest darkcoin-qt2.exe from here: http://darkcoin.io/beta.php
Hope that helps.
Is there a newer one than what is published here? http://www.darkcoin.io/
Where is the new wallet at?
I am using the download from the website.
