You should be able to download a sample Unobtanium.conf file from this link: http://unobtanium.uno/download/Unobtanium.conf.zip
I was able to download it. I suggested editing the file and pasting these recent nodes to the bottom of it:
addnode=104.172.24.79
addnode=107.194.84.134
addnode=136.243.217.171
addnode=138.201.65.88
addnode=144.76.151.198
addnode=149.202.29.101
addnode=162.13.4.69
addnode=162.243.59.178
addnode=174.26.27.143
addnode=185.107.80.17
addnode=192.95.29.72
addnode=205.251.171.138
addnode=23.152.0.149
addnode=31.53.93.120
addnode=37.187.88.140
addnode=5.9.93.107
addnode=52.19.39.5
addnode=52.221.247.224
addnode=52.57.77.14
addnode=69.12.92.107
addnode=72.241.235.204
addnode=74.120.220.54
addnode=75.19.27.28
addnode=85.25.194.204
Okay, I have downloaded the conf file, and jemmied it correctly (?) into the appdata file. (When I try to download that file here --
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.11422814 -- the file
opens but doesn't download.)
It seems best that I not try to add the new set of addnodes: it's an added task.
And . . . the QT still doesn't work.
EDIT: debug log shows:

If you install Teamviewer from Teamviewer.com, I can log in there and take care of it for you. Just PM me Mark and we can setup a time.
I know, it's a pain in the ass.Alternatives include Cryptapus' Electrum, JSWallet, Co-Pay online wallet, or on Android - Coinomi, Uberpay, or the Unobtanium wallet.
I think that is the part he is trying to stress here. It shouldn't be a pain in the ass. It should be downloading the exe and running it. There is zero reason to not have this file created when running the executable. If other wallets are able to do it, why can't we? Well other than lack of ability. I can't do it, but maybe BW could, it seems like if you can create a coin, this should be cake. Even then it would be mucho easier for people to just modify.
When saving the file all you do is type unobtanium.conf as the file name and hit save. If done correctly then it should work. I think you might be over thinking and therefore over complicating things. Not sure but you might need to show file extensions for this to work. Otherwise you might be saving this as a document titled unobtanium.conf where the computer is seeing this as unobtanium.conf.txt instead of having the .conf work as a file extension.
Open a folder in windows, find the tools option up top, alt if you can't see it, click tools, folder options, second tab in the window that pops up "view" scroll down and make sure you don't hide file extensions. Yet again, a pain in the ass that could be avoided if the conf was just coded into the exe some how.
Of course it is nice to have all those other options but why not also make sure the classic options are as easy as can be.
