Hi!
>Hi, I'm getting 'no block source available' with my windows wallet download. I don't understand how to find the config file or what exactly to do with it please elaborate
Go to your "user" folder in Windows. Should be in "C:\Users\_YourUserName_". Go into "AppData\Roaming\GroestlCoin" inside of this folder. There is a file "GroestlCoin.conf" inside. It is a plain text file. Edit it with Notepad. And paste in this text:
listen=1
server=1
rpcuser=u
rpcpassword=p
rpcport=1441
addnode=37.187.129.122
addnode=62.210.162.235
addnode=88.167.215.32
addnode=69.197.137.58
addnode=103.16.218.165
addnode=84.98.85.30
addnode=76.16.120.82
addnode=62.210.123.27
addnode=117.13.253.241

There is no file like that in users. I just downloaded the windows wallet, is there another download that installs the groestl conf in my users file?
I'd like to be part of this new coin, but it's very hard for someone with limited knowledge like myself to figure out. Right now I'm mining Hirocoin with sgminer, can I just input the groestl pool info in my sgminer bat file or do I need a special download? again, I'm very confused by what I see when I click the link for the miner download. Sorry I sound so clueless, but to be fair this coin is not simple to figure out how to mine.
I decided to move this thread out of PM, perhaps it'll help others.
So... If you don't see "AppData" folder in your USER folder, it means that "Show hidden folders" option is disabled on your computer.
Go to "Organize" menu and select "Folder and search options", enable the show hidden files opion:
Now you'll be able to edit it. Here's the file:
As for your second question... It depends which sgminer version your are using. I would recommend that you download sgminer from the page header, just to be sure:
