Can't get any connections either

Why don't you swap the 7970 for the GeForce in your current system?

bah my geforce is nearly exhausted & hasn't put in a valid share in 3 hours on the p2pool....why didn't my new mobo work so i could use that 7970? bah

I hope so! Mining like crazy right now...

Looking like wdc on exchange soon?

wow - transferred coins to test "instant transfer" -- seriously... this is f'n fast! I had two wallets open in separate virtual machines, both running and synced with network.  I sent coins, then switched windows to the other VM and the coins had already arrived, then were confirmed seconds later.

More nodes for you:
-addnode=71.201.163.216 -addnode=98.193.75.196 -addnode=71.86.91.187 -addnode=63.175.158.121 -addnode=82.8.158.89 -addnode=188.194.8.221 -addnode=183.62.232.93 -addnode=124.188.83.171 -addnode=72.222.208.81 -addnode=89.10.226.206 -addnode=173.16.119.230 -addnode=173.16.94.167 -addnode=66.232.186.235 -addnode=71.201.163.216 -addnode=98.193.75.196 -addnode=71.86.91.187 -addnode=63.175.158.121 -addnode=82.8.158.89 -addnode=188.194.8.221 -addnode=183.62.232.93 -addnode=124.188.83.171 -addnode=72.222.208.81 -addnode=89.10.226.206

In order for a windows client, (your windows computer) ... to use the wallet, (the worldcoin wallet you downloaded as a zip file and extracted to a place on your computer) ... in order for the "wallet" to connect to the Worldcoin network, to download the "blockchain", to connect and "sync" to the network ...

one must create a .conf file, (SomeFileName.conf or Worldcoin.conf or MyFileName.conf), and that file begins as a notepad file, a .txt file, (SomeFileName.txt or Worldcoin.txt or MyFileName.txt).

We will change the file ending to -> .conf <- after we make the file. So where do we make this file, that will start it's life as a .txt file, or a notepad file?

One creates this file inside the directory or folder that is created when the "worldcoin-qt.exe" is run. Running, (double-clicking), the "worldcoin-qt.exe" program allows that program to create a new folder on your hard drive, it creates a new, and special directory or folder ... inside a folder you can find here:

C:\Users\MyCurrentlyLoggedOnUserName\AppData\Roaming\Worldcoin

So the last folder you will be double-clicking into, (going into or opening), will be the "Worldcoin" folder or directory. Once you are in there, you then can right click inside an open space on the right side of windows explorer, inside that "Worldcoin" folder, and choose New->Text Document from the popup menu.

So this folder we are working in IS NOT the folder you created when you downloaded the .zip file, and extracted that to your hard drive, where the "worldcoin-qt.exe" exists, it's not that folder.

In the C:\Users\MyCurrentlyLoggedOnUserName\AppData\Roaming\Worldcoin folder ... name your new text document "Worldcoin.txt" for now.

If you cannot see the file ending, (the ".txt"), you must change your settings in your folder options so that you can see all file endings. Google that if you don't know about that or PM me and I'll assist you.

So we have this new .txt, or notepad file created, make sure it is open, and highlight and then copy, (right click the highlighted lines, choose copy), everything under the line that follows this sentence, not the line, just the stuff between the two lines:

---------------------------------------------

For the first line, rpcuser="I_Made_Up_This_User_Name" (do not use the quote marks and make up any username you wish with no spaces and no special characters, just letters and numbers)
For the second line, rpcpassword="I_Made_Up_This_Password" (do not use the quotes and make up any password you wish, with no spaces, you can use letters, numbers, and even symbols like "$" or "*")

When you finish adjusting the username, and the password, (these first two lines of what will be your ".conf file, your CONFiguration file"), save it ... you then need to change the entire name of this notepad file you created, (especially the ending), to SomeFileNameImadeUP.conf.

The important part is that the file ending is no longer (.txt) but that it is (.conf). Without the parenthesis.

Make sure you closed the Worldcoin wallet, that you have completely exited the wallet ... now open it, double click it again in the folder you downloaded it to, and extracted the zip file into, and it will start to sync to the worldcoin network.

The developers of this wallet did not "hardcode" the IP address nodes, (the other wallet computers running, your peers) ... into the wallet, IMHO, so that the cry of "pre-mining" by a reserved group of people with special knowledge and special access to the development of the coin could be avoided. In other words, the genesis block of the new coin had to be developed first, so that IP nodes of other clients would be available to connect to, to get the engine, the PeerToPeer node action on the network started.

So there you have it, from one windows user to another, and I will be glad to offer assistance through PM to any windows users.

I am in the U.S. and I am using http://wdcpool.erundook.net/ to mine this new coin with about a 10% stales/invalid ratio. I was to late to sign up for wdc.dontmine.me as registration was already closed, but because their server might be located closer to me, I would expect a lower stales/invalid rate.

I'm looking forward to reports from other windows users as to how this software is working out for you, thanks for being a part of the Crytpo Currency paradigm.

Let it be known that the ONLY reason I'm trying Worldcoin is because "Pooler" is involved, he runs litecoinpool and it is an excellent pool with a U.S. based server, I wish all of you could be registered there.

***** AFTER ... you are up and mining for a bit, perhaps a few hours or more, you can REMOVE the addnodes lines from the .conf file, and let the miner do its job dynamically. BUT !!! save the file as a backup if you need it again, and then just stop your miner, pop the .conf back into the folder, restart your miner, (it reads the .conf file again to get it started) ... good luck wit yo CRAZEEE mining, :-)

======================================

So what do these "addnode" lines mean in the .conf file??? Those are the IP address of some of the wallet running computers, not yours, other people's, that you will connect to and communicate with. With this wallet, you must specify them, because they are so new and were not included in the hard coding of the wallet.

Feedback from anybody on this is appreciated, and I will amend this post accordingly, thanks.

Copy and paste into CMD as administrator if you are having connection issues. This got me 8 active connections.

lol 

a few ass poundings.

firewall blocking port?

Anyone else unable to sync their wallet? My wallet just won't fucking sync.

Downloaded client, I even created the WorldCoin.conf file and added those nodes.

WHAT GIVES

Cant even keep the wallet connected
