still not working... wow, what am i doing wrong?
What is your conf named, including file extension?
teeth.conf
so, im just stumped.... should i try saving wallet.dat and wiping everything else out and starting from scratch? i dont think it will make a difference but i must be doing something stupid and the easiest thing is start from the begining i guess...
Make sure ports are not blocked
Here are some more nodes
