Title: no block source available
Post by: suxxez on November 05, 2014, 07:58:34 PM
Hey guys!

So, I downloaded bitcoin-qt 2 or 3 days ago and everything went pretty smoothly so far but now out of the blue it keeps stating that apparently there is noo "block source available" so I'm stuck at "22 weeks behind" now which is a real bummer :/. I do have "8 active connections" to bitcoin network though but nothing's happening.

How do I solve this? HELP!

go to
help -> debug window -> information

and check if current number of blocks increasing
also post a screenshot of your wallet here

It is stable (not increasing)

Here's a screenshot

You could try to open the firewall and forward the port for incoming connections.

Didn't change anything unfortunately =/
*edit*
it says synchronizing with network now but nothing's changing (just randomly happened though wasn't caused by changing firewall settings and stuff)... is there anything else I could do (using the console for instance?)

*edit2*

here's a screenshot of my debug log, maybe this helps somebody who's a bit more familiar with this stuff than me?
