Topic: Help on IXCOIN ! (Read 3885 times)

I'm showing zero connections as well.  Can somebody take a look at this and tell me what I'm doing wrong.

So I go to start menu and type in cmd to open up  the small black command window.  The prompt already has the following:  C:\Users\Vlad> and then I type: \downloads\Ixcoin\ixcoin.exe-addnode=198.154.60.183

The response is:  the system cannot find the path specified.

I tried different variations but I get the same response.  I put the ixcoin wallet download in the downloads section and not in the program files because that's where I keep all my other wallets but that shouldn't matter as it's just a location, right?

I may be  putting this command in the completely wrong place but that's the only place I know which has a command line.  Any help is appreciated.  TIA.

You need  a dash before the addnode

C:\program files\ixcoin2\ixcoin.exe -addnode=198.154.60.183

But where are you putting this?  can you type this at the command line.  It should  work from it.

i still dont know how to do this can you help me ? is it adding to the ixcoin shortcut ?

i am getting this error when i put the command it appear error

the name 'C:\program files\ixcoin2\ixcoin.exe addnode=198.154.60.183` specified in the target box is notvalid make sure the path and the file name are correct.

please help !

Strangely enough, I had that problem with the Windows wallet, but when I built the wallet from source on Linux, it worked fine. I wonder if the Windows binaries are based on older source code?

Yes, IXCoin is the only wallet that I have problems with.  My situation is that it will load - get 8 connections - load 500 blocks - and then stop.  It'll sit with that particular block count for days.  If I close out the wallet and restart, it will load an additional 500 blocks exactly and then stop again. 

I've re-installed, added the node as described in this thread, and more.  Very strange.

Ok so maybe you are using Windows or Mac or some other kind of Graphical User Interface / Desktop-metaphor?

You should be able to right-click the icon, or the menu, or click on some kind of "edit your menus" or "edit your icons" thing, and see the command that gets run when the icon is clicked or the menu item is picked. It will be a line of text starting with something like "C:/somplace/something/whatever/ixcoin" or "/usr/local/bin/ixcoin" or some such thing. Add the " -addnode=whatever " to that line. If adding it the end causes and error add it right after the "ixcoin" or "ixcoind" (the name of the program". (Notice I included spaces around the -addnode thing, indicating that by put it right after I mean to leave a space between it and the program name and it and whatever else might be after the program name).

If that doesn't help maybe you need someone familiar with your type of desktop-metaphor to walk you through how your desktop works.

You could also try looking in your help or manual system to see if it mentions whether your system has any kind of "find a file by name" function, maybe "file search" or "locate" or "find" or something like that.

Some systems might refer to the edit-an-icon functionality as "properties", where you get to see the "properties" (characteristics) of the icon or of what the icon (or menu item) does or the thing represented or referred to by the icon (or menu item); edit of those characteristics might be inside the routine that displays them to you (the "properties" or "characteristics" type of window/display/popup).

Try adding -addnode=198.154.60.183 on the commandline or put addnode=198.154.60.183 in the config file.
