I'm running the latest version of PPCoin on Windows 8 64bit but can't seem to get ppcoind.exe up and running. I made the ppcoin.conf and added an rpc user and password. I open a command prompt in the daemon directory and then type
ppcoind
and then it just sits there, I can't type into it. I am doing something wrong?
Also, if I type
ppcoind help
it just returns
error: couldn't connect to server
My end goal after getting ppcoind to work is to dump my private key and also import some private keys.
Thanks for any help you can offer.
Also, if needed here's my ppcoin.conf: (I removed the rpc password, it's not blank in my file)
# ppcoin.conf configuration file. Lines beginning with # are comments.
# Network-related settings:
# Run on the test network instead of the production ppcoin network.
#testnet=0
# Connect via a socks4 proxy - default none
#proxy=127.0.0.1:9050
# Accepting incoming connections
listen=1
# Enable UPnP negotiation with router/firewall to accept incoming connections
upnp=1

## Quick Primer on addnode vs connect ##
## Let's say for instance you use addnode=4.2.2.4 ##
## addnode will connect you to and tell you about the ##
## nodes connected to 4.2.2.4. In addition it will tell ##
## the other nodes connected to it that you exist so ##
## they can connect to you. ##
## connect will not do the above when you 'connect' to it. ##
## It will *only* connect you to 4.2.2.4 and no one else.##
## ##
## So if you're behind a firewall, or have other problems ##
## finding nodes, add some using 'addnode'. ##
## ##
## If you want to stay private, use 'connect' to only ##
## connect to "trusted" nodes. ##
## ##
## If you run multiple nodes on a LAN, there's no need for ##
## all of them to open lots of connections. Instead ##
## 'connect' them all to one node that is port forwarded ##
## and has lots of connections. ##
