First of all, i like this coin and his community great work dev!
My problem is: I have downloaded the latest version of the wallet v.0.8.6.2.5, but everytime i start it i cant get any connection to the network and it says:" No block source available". Its the windows wallet.
I have no problems with others tho..
Does any1 have had the same problem/ or just know how to fix it?
Thank you in advance.
Dexter
Probably this will help....
- windows
- not my first wallet upgrade but very frustrating non the less
- backed up wallet.dat
- installed new wallet
- deleted roaming files(although not really necessary because of name change)
- pasted wallet.dat in new roaming files
wallet opens and shows history but does not connect to network.
good job with the trying to moving the coin forward. To be honest I had given up on Karma myself but someone on the Poloniex site in the troll box re-sparked my interest enough to read about the changes.
Been mining again and have a couple million on pool site but cant move with broken wallet.
Thanks
same here, not syncing and it's already more than 24 hours.
Tried at 2 pcs, one with win 7 no conf and another one win 8.1 with conf.
Checked the log and all the connection to the nodes are "time out".
Anybody have same problem ?
Same here as I haven't been able find an active node since I decided to retrieve some freshly purchased karma yesterday evening (5/5) using the latest Karma-v0.8.6.2.5 Windows wallet on Win7, 32bit. Also unsucessfully tried adding "addnode=" entries in karma.conf from two old postings (one in the the original bitcointalk thread and another in the cryptocointalk forum) with debug.log showing time-outs and lastseen=70-100 mins for all entries. Presumeably other nodes are syncing therefore if anyone could share a few active nodes to add to karma.conf (which I believe was renamed from karmacoin.conf). that would be greatly appreciated.
On another note, Greetings ALL, this is my first bitcointalk posting. Doing good with Karma really resonates and there's a cause close to home I'd like to consider funding. Hopefully I can get my wallet syncing to retrieve my karma and possibly participate in Karmashares which I understand needs to be funded from a private wallet. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Welcome. You should subscribe on reddit subforums. There a different kind of activity there.
as far as not synching. can you all try to add these nodes and tell me if you were able to connect?

post back here if you need help adding them to the config file
now that i think about it. it could be your problems with firewalls. most likely window firewall prevents certain port numbers to recieve information. Here is that you should do.
manually edit the karma's .conf file
1. go to \AppData\Roaming\karmacoin folder
2. in there you should see a config file. if you do, just edit to with the info below
3. this is adding a new configuration file. what you do is you open a new text file. (right click--new--"text document")
you open this with a text editor. most likely notepad.
make sure there is nothing in the document. then add all these lines
rpcuser=karma
rpcpassword=karmaisawesome
port=9754
rpcport=9755
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcallowip=192.168.0.*
daemon=1
server=1
addnode=81.157.60.163
addnode=151.228.221.61
addnode=107.150.7.246
addnode=64.121.119.180
addnode=67.169.239.87
addnode=37.251.42.238
addnode=91.61.69.254
addnode=174.131.83.65
addnode=217.119.117.131
addnode=93.79.24.77
addnode=178.41.10.214
addnode=54.201.183.106:9432
addnode=148.251.70.194:9432
addnode=76.23.205.36:9432
addnode=115.28.129.207:9432
addnode=173.74.26.226:9432
addnode=95.85.48.77:9432
addnode=188.165.194.96:9432
4. all the red color text are options you can change . the blue color port number is the text you need to choose from : 8800's - 9999. You chose a port number that you will not use it by other devices and more importantly by other coins.
for expample karma port : 9755 , bitcoin port : 9788 , litecoin port: 8867 etc.
5. then save the document as karmacoin.conf and make sure our select from the drop down menu of "save type as" : All files(*). this is important. this will save the file as config file and not as a text file. if you see "karmacoin.conf.txt" file = bad if you see "karmacoin.conf" file = good
6. close the wallet if it was opened an then open it again.
Most likely why some of you are not syncing is because the port the wallet is trying to use is above the range i mention in step 4 and window firewall is preventing your computer from receiving any outside data. you prevent this by using a port range between 8000's - 9000's
Hopefully this should do the trick
Additional lookouts if you think things are not working.....
Here you go guys...
if you are having trouble connecting to peers and want to update your peers.dat file
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ebjrqthy206rlaq/U70ksPbIep
I will leave the link up for a week.. please let the powers that be know so they can add it to alongside the windows client..
hope it works...
PS.. I do not use a config file and everything is working fine here... to check that your config file isn't causing a problem just move it or rename it and restart the client.. (you can always move it back after)
also make sure you are running the wallet with the logo that matches the front page of this thread... if it has the old logo then you are using the old wallet and you should update it
Thank you Alphi !
