Wallet has 0 active connections :( Will not update

[quote=“wdethoma, post:60, topic:1807”]addnode?

don’t get it.

added this and t did not work:

(list of addnode=ip addresses removed)[/quote]

Yes it shouldn’t work. You’ve just added a ton of addnode IP addresses from January 2014. Most of those wallet IP’s have changed IP’s in the last 2 years.

By doing that, it’s just going to waste resources on your client trying to connect to all of those IP addresses (which are non responsive probably) non stop in a cycle. It will keep trying to connect to dead ip’s…

Instead, what peerchemist gave you is some recent nodes that he’s manage to connect to, which are these:

    "addr" : "78.8.188.249:9901",
    "addr" : "46.101.61.246:9901",
    "addr" : "68.192.124.81:9901",

so try:

addnode=78.8.188.249
addnode=46.101.61.246
addnode=68.192.124.81

Also keep in mind that peercoin’s wallet connects to IRC in order to find other nodes. You don’t just need port 9901 open, but also 6667…

From the peercoin source code:

CService addrConnect("92.243.23.21", 6667); // irc.lfnet.org
    CService addrIRC("irc.lfnet.org", 6667, true);</blockquote>

If you’re banned from lfnet.org for whatever reason, or can’t connect to it, then finding nodes can be difficult. But if someone gives you some working nodes “recently” and not from 2014, that’s enough to get your client connected to the peercoin network and start discovering other nodes that way (without the help of IRC).

Peercoin nodes share which nodes they are connected to… It’s just the initial startup on a new wallet that might require an IRC connection.
