i found teh problem.

when you go to save the file in Windows, under "Save as type" you have to change from "Text Documents(*.txt) to "All Files".

 If you don't do this, it will save it as "BitcoinDark.conf.txt" instead of "BitcoinDark.conf".  You won't see the mistake in the file name when you check your roaming file, but it is there and it will not work when .txt is present in the file name.





You serious man?  You been yelling for a wallet fix for a minute now and it was because you didn't save as 'all files'?

c'mon meow...

lol, now i know your kidding around,,,,but i have been yelling for 30 hrs...if you had read back 20 pages. So ""DOH" on me.

pls know that i am an old fart born in the 50s. not tech savvy like most who did not grow up with this...as i said earlier.  I remember when the first PC was a big deal and many of you may not have been born yet.

you guys gotta realize these sorts of issues will also happen as more people get into mining etc. Not everyone has computer skills... but may have a lot of money to invest in mining or trading coins. Remeber who has the most money? Yup you got it.... "Baby Boomers" like me.

Is it true that big pump is planned for BTCD?

I think the POW ends there might be.

Everyone should be staking these so I expect the exchanges to dry up a bit

A ton of us are not staking cos we can't get the wallet to connect.

Read back over the last 20 pages or more... and you will see what i mean. Even someone called bitcoinreviews (which i presume is a media person) is not able to get his/her wallet working. that being the case, bad news about the wallet problem will not be good news for this coin.

Please get us a working wallet. I have faith in you guys. I went through the same thing with SYNC coin and they finally came up with a working wallet. Many people bailed out before hand and that coin had a rough time. Now, people who did not wait for a working wallet are likely kicking themselves.

So i am holding my coins in an exchange until i get a working wallet. I hate the idea that the Exchange is staking ( as mentioned above) with my coins tho. So, pls give us a working wallet in the next 12 hrs. PLEASE!

weird issue then.  not sure what could it be

Totally noob question here (don't shoot the asker) Cheesy

How do I stake?

Just keep your wallet open, make sure it is unlocked / un-encrypted. You dont have to do anything for staking, its automatic.

You can download from here the BitcoinDark conf file . Copy to C:\Users\your user\AppData\Roaming\BitcoinDark and delete the peers.dat file and restart the wallet

I am not GUI dev, but I suggest to the GUI dev to look for the .conf file in this order:
BitcoinDark.conf
BitcoinDark.conf.txt
bitcoindark.conf
bitcoindark.conf.txt

This would avoid this being even noticed as a problem

A few things wrong here.

Wallet works fine.  I have been staking for a few days now.  Try deleting your peers or fixing your conf file.

Second...exchanges don't stake coins.  At all.

For those having issues with the Windows Wallet:

Brief Tutorial of the steps I took to get mine working:

1. Download and unzip the wallet.

2. Open the BitcoinDark-qt.exe file.

3. Close the Wallet (Press the X).

4. Navigate to C:\Users\"user"\AppData\Roaming\BitcoinDark

5. Create a new .txt file called BitcoinDark.txt

6. In the .txt file, paste the following code:

rpcuser=user
rpcpassword=pass
rpcport=14632
port=14631
daemon=1
gen=1
server=1
addnode=146.185.188.6
addnode=74.91.20.250:39997
addnode=54.85.50.15:50288
addnode=107.170.148.50:14631
addnode=65.129.66.246:57762

7. Save the file and close it.

8. Rename the file, BitcoinDark.txt to BitcoinDark.conf. Press yes when it asks you to confirm the extension change.
     ***NOTE*** Be sure the file is called BitcoinDark.conf and not BitcoinDark.conf.txt or something

9. Open the wallet with BitcoinDark-qt.exe again. Should be able to connect and SYNC wallet now.

I only have addnode=107.170.59.196 in my BitcoinDark.conf file and never had any problem syncing and i am here from launch

Very interesting. I have that one in my conf file as you may have seen. Something must be wrong with my conf file.

Do you mind sharing your entire conf file?



That is my entire conf file, i only have that node and nothing more
