I tried setting up a node using no-ip,
after a day of failing to get the ports to forward, I give up.
Also, yes the wallet does sync, for about 10 seconds and then it is back to Wallet (out of sync).
Is there anyone else that is also falling out of sync just after it does sync, watch it for a few seconds, don't just jump away yelling yeah.
I am using the block chain archive and all the nodes on the OP list.
Yup, I'm on the right blockchain and my wallet says "Synchronizing with network...0 hours behind" constantly. I'm getting payouts from the pool tho, so it is working despite the annoying eternal syncing issue.
