Title: Wallet is not syncing (general). Why and what can be done? Post by: manicminer44 on January 15, 2014, 03:45:43 PM It happened to me several times with minor altcoins. The last one is Giftcoin. At one day the wallet just stops syncing. It got me puzzled, since as I know the whole cryptocoin system builds on p2p scheme. I have several connection, still the wallet is not syncing. What could be the reason? I am not asking this about a specific altcoin, but generally, what could cause a wallet not to sync for every user? Is there anything that can be done as an ordinary user to solve this problem?

I'm by far no expert, however, there are a couple of things you should check. make sure you have the correct altcoin-qt client for whichever coin you are mining with. Also, make sure the altcoin in question has not branched off into another block-chain and thus you may have been syncing to the *incorrect* block-chain. make sure you have the correct super-nodes IP addresses inside your *.conf file from whom you are syncing with. EXAMPLE *.CONF Code:
also check you have allowed inbound traffic access to these IP-nodes (or at the very least, these nodes are *not* being blocked). check the RPC ports are configured correctly.. If you still have no luck check this forum for help or try readit threads for your specific altcoin which you are having issues syncing with. If all else fails try to see if there is a bootstrap.dat of the block chain which you can download yourself and sync with your client manually (faster method) |
