Well hello there!
December 10, 2014, 02:17:28 PM
What exactly is it you are supposed to do now if your wallet is slow to sync?  anybody? Huh a tutorial would be nice..

Slow to sync? or not syncing at all?

If you're on a windows machine you need to download the new config file found on the OP and copy it to your bitcoindark folder.

1) Go to windows start menu type %appdata%  this brings up your roaming folder.

2) Navigate to bitcoindark folder

3) Download the Config file from OP and put into wallet folder

If your on a mac, I've been able to connect to more peers without the config file, however the mac client is pretty slow to sync for the first time.  Just leave it running for a few hours.



Ok, thanks for the information, I should be able to handle that.  But listen, I have a full time job that is not on the computer so when you say "OP" I have no idea what you're talking about.  I guess I'm showing my ignorance here.  I searched it and couldn't find anything about OP.  So, I don't know where to find this config file.
He's referring to the Opening Post (or first posting) on this thread.

I'll try adding those node's into my config file to see if that resolves the syncing issue.

Just added trusted nodes into my .conf file from OP.  Connected to 6 peers currently and still not syncing :/

It's the first post in this thread: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/btcd-is-no-more-684090

Not sure, what it means... maybe "Original Post"?

Yes, it means the original post or the first post on the first page of the thread.  Sorry about the confusion.

Idiot dumpers on bittrex...

I am sure they just dump to convert into SupetNET. I also had those thoughts about a month ago. SuperNET gives dividends right now at this very moment, price is stable and backed up. On the other hand, BTCD is just staking at the moment, price jumps, bots rage = no stability.

This coin will either be huge success or huge disappointment. In the end decided to leave it stake. Only two options, right? LOL.

addnode=ps02.bitcoindark.ca
addnode=ps03.bitcoindark.ca
addnode=ps04.bitcoindark.ca

devs could release a bootstrap.dat torrent and get rid of these slow synch. it helps.

Here's a quick fix:

http://altcoin.center/blk/btcd/blk0001.dat

The file contains the BTCD chain up to block 263383

It seems peeps, here and there, have always had issues with syncing.  I've never used a .conf file and have never had any syncing issues, except for the first time I downloaded the wallet in July.  Even then, I didn't really have an issue, just had to wait awhile to snag some solid peers.  Maybe drop the .conf and give that a shot, but not sure.... Huh

speaking of mining, I just noticed genesis now supports BTCD!  Shocked

so i just purchased a small amount of sha-256 hashing and set my dial to 100% BTCD to help support this coin and the rest of the superNETwork Wink

if anyone is interested I have a promo code - it only takes off 2.5% but I would genuinely appreciate the support. Thanks
