Thanks in advance You should download core 0.9.1. And before that backup wallet.dat, delete everything else. Install 0.9.1 core, import wallet.dat and leave it to sync. If it will not help: check your firewall and Antivirus settings. Maybe those are blocking. Regards. Title: Re: Wallet not syncing Post by: lepirate on April 14, 2014, 08:37:42 PM Yes, make sure the necessary ports (Typically TCP 8333) are open, otherwise Bitcoin Core could have problems syncing. Also you can add some nodes manually for your client to sync with by adding #addnode=theipadresshere:theportyouwanthere to bitcoin.conf

Shutting down Antivirus isn't best idea :-) You're under Windows 7/8 ? What is your Antivirus? Title: Re: Wallet not syncing Post by: bryancoin on April 14, 2014, 10:15:18 PM Just temporarely deactivated it
windows 8 with kaspersky Title: Re: Wallet not syncing Post by: roslinpl on April 14, 2014, 10:41:59 PM Just temporarely deactivated it windows 8 with kaspersky 1st is this one. Add 0.9.1 executable into firewall. http://m.wikihow.com/Add-Exceptions-to-Windows-8-Firewall And add it into Kaspersky http://support.kaspersky.com/8742 Does it seems to be working after those? Title: Re: Wallet not syncing Post by: bryancoin on April 14, 2014, 10:55:38 PM But it worked before on the same laptop for me..
Didnt change anything Title: Re: Wallet not syncing Post by: roslinpl on April 14, 2014, 11:03:36 PM But it worked before on the same laptop for me.. Didnt change anything Well if it doesn't work you should try instructions from my post above. :-) So you deleted appdata/roaming/... folder before installing 0.9.1 and backup wallet.dat. Correct? Title: Re: Wallet not syncing Post by: bryancoin on April 14, 2014, 11:18:46 PM Seems to work now! thanks
