When I first downloaded the Windows wallet, it didn't start synchronizing automatically and said there were "0 active connections". I solved it by creating the .conf file, but why is it happening in the first place? It makes the coin look a bit unprofessional and could be a turnoff for more casual users.
I'd also like to recommend creating a subreddit and perhaps get on some other social media, a sense of community around the coin will increase it's worth in the eyes of a potential investor researching the coin.
Other than that I'd like to thank the developer for staying very active and I hope he'll continue to do the great job he's doing.
Best of luck to Solaris!
I decided to run my own wallet today and also ran into the no synchronization issue. After the .conf file is created, how long should I expect it to still say "out of sync"? I don't see any indication that it's making any progress at this point.
****all good, it synched very fast once it started.
I am running a windows wallet, I am getting still "out of sync" after the .conf file is created and I have over 11 connection! How long should I expect to wait?
Delete everything on the wallet folder EXCEPT for your wallet.dat then open wallet again. it'll create the deleted folder/files again and resync to the latest block
How long does the sync take? Still showing "out of sync" and no progress bar after deleting everything on the wallet folder EXCEPT for your wallet.dat. What am I doing wrong?
Left it on for a while and now it has updated all the blocks, finally!
The devs really need to update the wallet with a loading bar to let the user know it is syncing and updating.
