Hi cragv, Thank you for the reply, so I have been trying from steps 1 to 6.
I am running on windows 7, and non of the solutions you provided work for me.
I do not know what is happening, I tried to delete the wallet and reinstall and now it is 80 weeks behind with no block source available...
Would that be something wrong with my Unobtanium.conf setting?
By default in a new installation, there isn't a *.conf file at all! You can create a conf file with a list of nodes or other settings, but out of the box, there isn't one.
Two things:
1. after reinstalling (step 6 in my last post), try leaving it for an hour or more. It may find connections and be on its merry way.
2. if you've waited a while and there's still no action, exit the wallet and then create a conf file as outlined at the bottom of
the first post of this thread:
If you want to try solo mining Unobtanium, or if you are having any problems connecting to the network, enter the below text into your Unobtanium.conf file. To find Unobtanium.conf in Windows, start Internet Explorer, then paste this into your browser: %AppData%\Unobtanium
Edit the file
Unobtanium.conf and paste in the text below, making the appropriate edits where noted. If you do not find Unobtanium.conf, you'll need to create one by right clicking in the folder > new > text document.
rpcuser=user (change to something else)
rpcpassword=x (change to something else)

cgminer.exe --userpass user:x --url 127.0.0.1:65535 --disable-gpu --queue 4I've just tested all nodes listed in the above and have disabled all that failed a ping test at this exact moment in time. Thus, when you use the above conf file, it should give you only active nodes.
If after all this you *still* aren't getting anywhere, there may be a greater problem on your computer. Try pinging coinpayments.net (press
Start and
R on your keyboard, type
cmd and press Enter, then at the prompt, type: ping coinpayments.net
You should see:

then you have a connectivity issue that I cannot easily resolve for you here. Further testing by an IT savvy person is recommended in such a case! (The fact that you can post here suggests that your internet is functional, assuming it is being done from the computer on which you're trying to sync your wallet). Good luck!
