Title: QT not connecting to Testnet or downloading blocks ?
Post by: idev on August 10, 2014, 01:59:15 PM
I'm trying to get my QT on OSX to run on the testnet. I've added "testnet=1" to my conf.
But after some time now i still have no connections and of course no blocks are downloading. All it says is that there is no block source available ?

Not much people are on testnet, did you try to add the node from theymos?

Code:
addnode=blockexplorer.com

edit: 3 typos, 1 sentence -_-

Trying it but it does not seem to make a difference.
