I actually just figured it out. I was editing the conf as is in the folder with the wallet! And for some reason as standard the appdata folder had no conf for the wallet whatsoever!? So I just popped it in there.
I see alot of people may have made the same mistake! so hopefully people see this.
Before edit or put config file you need start wallet! After start, wallet auto create folder in appdata and create file qubitcoin.conf! This normal for all coin!
After edit conf file You need restart wallet!
I'm aware of that! but for some reason there literally was no conf file in my appdata at all!
Happy to have a balance! 4k apparently!
Now all is well?
