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 : )

the first time you run any internet enabled application the windows firewall (in windows 7 and im assuming 8 ) asks you if you want to allow that application to talk to the internet.
if you say yes then those ports are opened up automatically, if you say no then the app is dead in the water and windows wont ask you again next time you run it.

if you run a new version of the client from a different folder windows will ask you again if you want to allow the app to talk to the internet..

also you don't need RPC port and Daemon = 1 and Server=1 for running the client as a wallet only.

they are used when the client app is running as a daemon so you can do funky things like run mining pools and web services against and tell it to do things remotely etc.

all of the RPC settings should be kept TIGHTLY under lock and key (ie dont tell anyone) because if someone has those settings and your IP address they can tell your client to do things like send money remotely (if your wallet is unencrypted, which it is by default for every new wallet)....

if those are your RPC username and password then I suggest you change them since you just told everyone..

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

another thing we probably should do is bundle a working peers.dat file with the client (or atleast a config file with a whole bunch of addnodes). That would help a lot of newbies get up and running a lot faster.

funny

may I ask, when did you first install the wallet? you're using version 0.8.6.2.5?

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?

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

post back here if you need help adding them to the config file

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.

At first i mine for money. Like anyone else who have electricity bill.
But then i read about karmashare so i "re-evaluate" my self mine for joining it.
But the wallet never sync, now i have to "re-evaluate" again about this.
 

Anyone mining Karma to sell right now is surely going to re-evaluate their decision in short course

Sorry that we haven't been able to provide a response to this yet. Have you tried re-installing the wallet? Also, what is the date the you first opened your new wallet?

Unfortunately , bitcoin price is down. this makes mining karma less practical. Miners need some of that karma to be traded in btc to be sold in in fiat to pay electric bill. At this rate. 1000 Kh/s pays out $2 a day. with electric bill probably half of that.

Once we have some projects in beta mode. I'm going to guess price will shoot up and it would make karma very rewarding to mine.

Even if those project do take longer, soon with ASICs coming online , all the GPUs people in litecoin dogecoin will move over to all scrypt coin like ours. Our nethash will blow up. watch : )

I think we would gain if the network had more hashing power.

Common miners, Karma is both one of the most profitable coins and it has a bright future ahead!!!

Mine and HOLD!

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 ?

@CryptoJohn

  Im glad you too into consideration my comment on Poloniex trollbox about KARMA. If you dedicate 15 minutes to read the history of this coin, you will understand that in May 2015, the coin will be alive, and with huge grow on its community. In one year, i imagine dozens of now popular coins then dead, and of course dozens of new coins with new tech. But this one, is here to stay for long. The purpose is not to get some devs rich, or some small community rich, not even for good day trading for the crypto community. The purpose of this coin is deeply connected to the crypto paradigm in real world were living in this decade. And, besides economy paradigm in tech terms, is related to "Good economy", To help making good things happen. Thats why we have such an honest and dedicated community. No Wolf's spirit here, but instead, Elephants spirit.
  
Cheers

new wallet is not syncing for me.

• 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

Next block reward halving in about one month!  One block = 10 000 + 25 000 coins (75% less than today!)

imagine what will happen to the price of KARM when the mining rewards slow in the near future.  what's a few more billion KARMs amongst friends!

New windows wallet is very good.

annnnddddddddddd were back on the top. 


I've seen this coin so may times on top on all crypto related things. Still shocked you can buy it so cheap.


Hope more people get a chance to get a slice of this. also hope more people join the team and help build a stronger infrastructure

Good job. KARM relisted on whattomine.com
