@Sellingaccs, Thanks.
I tried it. added the addresses you suggested.
The same results. "Connecting to peers..."

There is nothing I can re-install. All I'm using is the 64bit latest binaries for Windows.
Everything worked fine yesterday and that's what makes me crazy.

Maybe my IP is banned somehow?

That is super weird. Try Port checking tool and see if your port 8333 (or your custom port) is open and the website can see it from there. There is no way to ban someone from bitcoin network. Nodes can deny requests from certain ip ranges, but it is nearly impossible that every node in the world would block your requests Grin

If the port is open and you get the message, then i suggest moving the bitcoin data folder to some other location on your computer and see if your client connects to any nodes then even.

I've got this same problem and found the port is closed. I've tried configuring for tor and managed to get...

This is plain config with Tor running:

Thanks all.
Sorry, for wasting your time.

Our sysadmin closed "some ports" this morning. Roll Eyes

So it's all working fine now.
Thanks for the tips about "addnode"!

Ask me for Pools, Nodes and Explorers.

@Sellingaccs, Thanks.
I tried it. added the addresses you suggested.
The same results. "Connecting to peers..."

There is nothing I can re-install. All I'm using is the 64bit latest binaries for Windows.
Everything worked fine yesterday and that's what makes me crazy.

Maybe my IP is banned somehow?

That is super weird. Try Port checking tool and see if your port 8333 (or your custom port) is open and the website can see it from there. There is no way to ban someone from bitcoin network. Nodes can deny requests from certain ip ranges, but it is nearly impossible that every node in the world would block your requests Grin

If the port is open and you get the message, then i suggest moving the bitcoin data folder to some other location on your computer and see if your client connects to any nodes then even.

Well you should try adding nodes manually, but i find it really weird that it suddenly stops working like that. You should check ports again if adding nodes manually does not work. You need to create bitcoin.conf on:

Code:

C:/Users/(username)/AppData/Roaming/Bitcoin

Here are few nodes that i have picked for you from the Bitcoin ABC list, no need to add alot of them because this amount will work just fine.
Insert the following into bitcoin.conf:

Code:

daemon=1
rcpallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcuser=x
rpcpassword=x
addnode=74.70.90.94:8344
addnode=101.201.40.27:8333
addnode=174.7.119.132:8333
addnode=91.108.41.131:8333
addnode=101.37.161.153:8333

After that, save the file (make sure that the file is bitcoin.conf, and not bitcoin.conf.txt as windows by default hides known file extensions)
That should work, but if it does not then you should probably go for full installation again.

Im on the latest version 0.16.0.2
Both testnet and main. Its just stuck on "Connecting to peers..."

It was all fine yesterday. And my testnet was completely synced.
But now no peers at all.
No changes in my firewall.
I tried to delete the "peers.dat". Bitcoin ABC recreated it. but no peers again.

Is there any known peer list I could add?
How to resolve this?
Huh

Thanks
