You can add this node to your karmacoin.conf if you have problems

addnode=altcoin.dk:9432

it's located in germany, has ~50 connections atm and can handle up to 1000 connections.

(if you are uneasy about adding my node, i also run the blockexplorer infrastructure)

10 X have been completed?

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

Just Pm when you will have the link, I don't have access to the download location, kosmost has.

sure thing.. do you have access to wherever the windows client download is located?  I'll put my peers.dat on my dropbox so you can copy it up to the server but I wont leave it up for long. just give me a few mins to update it

Alphi or cryptowho, can you make us a good peers.dat or .conf file with updated nodes with a little explanation ? I will post it on the first page of the thread.

Thank you  

ahh.. you are correct. i will edit. i meant to say change the Port. and therefore also the RPCport to be almost the same. usually the Port # + 1 , so it is easy to remember...

give it some time(30 mins)

if nothing. restart comp.

if nothing again. back up your wallet (wallet.dat) then delete everything in the karmacoin folder except the wallet.dat file. and reinstall the wallet

I tried setting up conf file/addnode as per instructions above and still zero connect. Any other ideas or nodes?

yep but I think you missed my point about RPC settings (including RPC port) being only used when the client is used as a daemon/RPC Server its not used by the client and its peers for transaction processing at all.
They all use the same hard coded port address..

you can change the Port number using the "port=" parameter  (not to be confused with RPC port, port= is there so you can move onto a testnet) but then it wont be able to talk to any of the other peers.

also the risk of getting "hacked" isn't so great at the moment because its still under the radar. the fact that Karma is so small that few people want to toy with it is no reason at all to get complacent.

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
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

normally yes. but it doesnt right away. if you install a wallet and the wallet has the port at 10000. firewall will block it with out a prompt. if you re-start your comp and then run the wallet you will get the prompt

by introducing a new configuere file and set the port to more firewall friendly ports between 8800-9999 then you can synch up with out having to create firewalls prompts

only the rpcpassword is dangerous to share. (of course i didnt show my pass nor the port i am using )  But the level of you getting hack its not that great. those port are port that windows firewall and antivirus monitor hevely. especially port lower , like pools use. I am not worried.

but since these users just recently installed the wallet. they must have not restarted their comps yet. or windows firewall does not give the promt to unblock. it just blocks it for them automatically. I am confident that if they put the addnodes i suggested and use a port number between 8000-9999 they will synch right way.

also by setting up the configure file i also solve any future question if they want to solomine : )
