I cannot download the blockchain! Help!
« on: December 15, 2013, 10:41:05 PM »
I have been waiting almost an hour now, and the fastcoin client has yet to make a single connection to a node. The client says, "No block source available," and, "0 active connections to Fastcoin network"
Here is an exact copy of my fastcoin.conf file:
Code: [Select]
listen=1
daemon=1
server=1

rpcuser=fastcoinsolo
rpcpassword=x

rpcallowip=10.1.1.*
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcallowip=192.168.*.*

rpcport=9527
rpcconnect=127.0.0.1
addnode=190.191.141.145
addnode=75.135.81.210
addnode=69.57.165.193
addnode=168.61.25.9
addnode=71.171.90.204
addnode=172.219.27.30
addnode=88.60.62.215
addnode=124.170.3.229
addnode=70.71.0.93
I do not know why this is happening. I did see some posts talking about port forwarding, but there was no description on how that was done, so I am confused and stuck. Any help would be much appreciated!

I had the same problem, and fixed it by deleting the fastcoin folder in %appdata%\Roaming and letting it re download everything.

When you're in "C:\Users\yourname\appdata", go into the Roaming folder.

The current actual windows wallet version is 8.7.2. For faster synchronisation you can download the blockchain snapshot from here. Just unpack it using 7-Zip archiver or WinRAR to this folderr: C:\Users\Admin\UserName\Roaming\Fastcoin.

For better connection with fastcoin network add these nodes to fastcoin.conf file:

Code: [Select]
addnode=94.23.241.56:9526
addnode=70.163.93.50:9526
addnode=109.228.137.57:9526
addnode=62.210.122.161:9526
addnode=72.78.100.7:9526
addnode=89.142.239.184:9526
addnode=144.214.87.20:9526
addnode=46.146.2.134:9526
addnode=119.224.73.174:9526
addnode=86.175.239.171:9526
addnode=50.125.139.131:9526
addnode=85.15.80.104:9526
addnode=123.22.186.144:9526
