Given you have zero connections, you most likely are in a fork and been banned. Sorry to say, you may have to resync. Close the wallet, delete everything (files and folders) in that same mentioned directory except your walet.dat file, and then start the wallet and allow it to resync. It will require much time. A bootstrap and snapshot option exist and are available at http://bern.cash/download/Sorry for the inconvenience. Today I tried to re-install the wallet, having backed up my wallet.dat file ... but Windows Defender is blocking install due to detection of "Win32/Tiggre!rfn" trojan virus. Now I get that Windows Defender does throw up false positives sometimes, but I have neither the time nor the patience, nor the technical background to sort the issue out. So I went to look for the online wallet at Coinwallet.co ... but that website is no longer active. Uggh. I'm just going to salt away my wallet.dat file and come look at it in a year or so. Hopefully things are better developed.

Anyone else having a problem getting the BERN-qt wallet in sync? Been on the last 13 hrs for days... now 19hrs behind...
If you are only 13 hrs or 19 hrs behind and have waited there for days, I would suggest: shutting it down, delete the peers.dat file, and start it again. See if it picks up the remainder from new peers. It should. The peers.dat file is located in, presuming Windows, C:\Users\[Your Windows username here]\AppData\Roaming\BERNcash\ and be very careful not to delete your wallet.dat file. I hope this helps. I haven't been able to sync since mid-February. Just deleted my peers.dat file as you suggested but I don't see any change in status. Still have zero active connections and making no progress downloading blocks.

Hey guys. I'm all in. I've been looking for 'micro-cap' type tokens that just have explosive potential over the next 18 months, and this perfectly fits the bill. I'm expecting Bernie to announce another run around March 2019, which gives us about 14 months to accumulate at these crazy low prices. I'm downloading my wallet, hitting the faucet, dusting off some of my exchange accounts. Most grateful if someone can help get me up to speed to save me from reading this entire thread:
1. How does the BERNcash token help or assist Bernie's run for the Democratic nomination? 2. Besides faucet, mining, staking, and buying, are there other ways I might acquire some of these coins? 3. I don't see a white paper. Can someone point me to a link? 4. What are total tokens, and who are they held by? 5. I live on the West Coast and Bernie won my state. Happy to represent at events when the time comes. We have rural, red counties, that I'd be happy to visit. :-)

Bit-Z voting. Looks like I voted 100 VTC, submitted my screenshot etc. Now I see that Pokercoin has been accepted, and I have another 100 VTC available to vote, and that votes are still being accepted, it appears like. Is there any point to voting my other 100 VTC? Will I get allocated more of the POKER reward if I cast these votes as well? (Lol ... now it seems like fractions of a penny, but someday we all just know that someday PokerStars will want to buyout the entire chain!)

Update: We found that the proxy connection switched on in the wallet is causing the problem. If this is turned off, wallet starts to synchronize: settings --> options--> Network --> unselect "Connect through SOCKS proxy" send reward , if this worked on the following adress Poker wallet adress: PUcCfTXmFVSoMMkrnxoUPJdeRKZ2qwsHvb [/quote] Ummm, doesn't help. I think the wallet simply doesn't work. The faucet is empty. No exchanges. Hard to be optimistic here ...

"Open your wallet, and make sure you are connected to another wallet. You are connected if you see the icon Wallet Connections in the lower right corner of your wallet." I'm not connected to 'another wallet.' And this gives no explanation why I need to connect my wallet to 'another wallet', and/or how I would go about that. It couldn't get more useless ... I had this problem, just put the CONF file in the %APPDATA%\POKERCOIN and reset the wallet it start to sync ... wanna know about the mining(stake) now ... it's not just leave the wallet open? I don't find this "%APPDATA%\POKERCOIN" on my PC ... desktop wallet doesn't sync with anything ... for example: c:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\POKERCOIN\ Yeah ... I don't have that file on my PC. Anyway I've just given up. Installing and using a wallet shouldn't require this much time and effort on user's part. (I've got several other wallets, including desktop, so I don't think it is me.) I did vote at Bit-z ... and still collecting Pokercoins ... hope for the best.

How to get my desktop wallet to sync??

Thanks for the free chips, but your software isn't working for me. I sat at the table 2x and the 'call' and 'fold' buttons don't work. They're dead. So I have to surrender my BB.

Just to make sure I am getting this right, you are selling BTC and buying RMB?
Exactly. I'm not interested in a discussion of the merits. Just seeking a liquid exchange where I can do that.

Is there a liquid exchange where can an American resident trade their btc for RMB?? I have an account at BTC-China but just learned today that they have disabled trading (?) for US residents. (God I hate living in the US ... time to move, again!)

Phase1: 600,000 tokens @ 1:1.20 OPENPOS tokens/each Special Buyback Phase2: 1,400,000 tokens @ 0.000288 BTC = 403.2 BTC Phase3: 3,000,000 tokens @ 0.000360 BTC = 1,080 BTC Phase4: 95,000,000 tokens (in 2017) @ 0.000500 BTC = 47500 BTC
Total of 48,983 BTC (not including Phase 1) = $28,116,242
So, yes they are asking for well over the $20 Million dollars, my concerns are justified, rational and realistic. It is silly to tell me to buy T-notes ...
This is exactly why I told OP that posting/projecting such specifics about a Phase 4 is absurd. It results in this pointless, and circuitous logic that because Phase 4 is impossibly large we have no business conducting a Phase 2 & 3. Phase 4 doesn't exist ... it is like you are protesting Santa Clause' skid marks. Quite pointless. Here is the inside scoop guys. Blockpay++ will never get to a Phase 4. If things go well enough they will be acquired by a POS software vendor which can almost instantaneously deploy the software across millions of terminals and simultaneously coordinate an education campaign directed at its merchants. The acquirer will have no choice, and will gladly buyout token holders at a very handsome multiple of our original cost.

I see your point, I should not expect too much given the extreme unknowns. Yet, they are asking for ALOT of faith that they will honor those who funded their hard work. With stocks you know the game and there are established rules. There are certain legal measures share holders can take if the management is not acting within the share holder interest. What I love about these is that I don't have to have millions just to participate in an ICO, but I also need to know where I stand when and IF this project makes it barely or makes it big. As of now they have no plan that they have made public other then vague "profit sharing" promises. That worries me. I am not one to call them scamers, I want to believe in them and help them, I just need to know what the plan is. If they are ready to ask for $20 million+ they should be ready to explain how they might distribute profit in an equitable manner should that ever arise.
You are being unrealistic. They are raising less than US$1.0-mil right now. At least they have a product, and a business plan. I'm grateful and excited for that. There are 'stocks' or shell companies that raise many times more on the sole prospect of buying out another company, i.e. they have neither a product nor a business plan. Like I said before, if you are uncomfortable with this level of risk, there are always T-notes. As an investor I don't want them babysitting or holding anybody's hand at this point. They've released a good deal of information, and need to be focused on building the business ...

There needs to be some better discussion about investor benefits down the road. I agree with previous sentiment about lack of communication on this topic. If I buy this token, when and what % of returns can I expect proportional to my stake? I realize the investment may not pan out, that nobody can predict returns, yet if there are profits in the future when can we expect profit sharing and how much?
Serious answer here: I think this venture is so speculative, it is all but impossible for the founding team to be laying that out at this stage. We just have to accept that it is an extremely speculative investment, with no promises attached. Do they even have any revenues at this point? Any clear expectation of what revenues expectations are realistic? I don't see how they could ... That aside, even Warren Buffett bet on penny stocks, even loaded up at times, when he was working with a very small bankroll. If you look at this as an extremely speculative penny stock, and then invest in a select basket of them, I'd think you would do fairly well. Too much digging into funnymentals could just get in the way of a sound investment strategy.

So, after almost an hour of research this is the picture of the blockpay ICO I have so far... some prior ico token holders receive 50% of a .5% transaction fee on merchant sales, ambassadors receive 15%, leaving 35% for company expenses and blockpay token holders and token holders will be paid last in this hierarchy with no guarantee or even agreement that any percentage amount will be paid to blockpay token holders. This means any return on investment is up to the personal discretion of the management team, and they and everyone else get paid first. Tokens are not needed to power any app so their value is at the mercy of discretionary dev spending and 'rewards'. I don't see why an investor would make an investment in such a blind pledge without anything written or coded to offer any assurance of getting their money back plus. Titan20 has repeatedly asked for clarification on this and so far just a lot of 'trust us', it's a great idea. I don't dispute that your idea is great and your concepts might work, but I greatly question the risk/reward offered to token buyers with zero hard figures detailing the value proposition to token holders.
Edit: I believe I also picked up somewhere that this first batch of icos will only offer 6.5% of the total amount of tokens, meaning current investors are also subject to dilution risk down the road, the rate of which is also at mgt discretion?
Dude, logic and common sense is not the right way to frame this. Think internet bubble circa 1997-2000. When we push the price to 0.10 btc per, all them other facts that you so kindly point out won't mean jack squat. If it makes you more comfortable then invest in treasury notes. With notes all your returns are contractually defined. ;-)

OP,
I have some underwriting experience, IPO & secondaries, and can tell you this is insane:
Limited Amount! Great discounts available in this pre-ICO, all based on Opening rate of 2017 ICO
Phase1: 600,000 tokens @ 1:1.20 OPENPOS tokens/each Special Buyback Phase2: 1,400,000 tokens @ 0.000288 BTC tokens/each 42.40% Discount Phase3: 3,000,000 tokens @ 0.000360 BTC tokens/each 28% Discount Phase4: 2nd ICO @ 0.000500 BTC tokens/each Initial Price
Here are the facts:
A. YOU don't know when the secondary will take place. Timing is contingent on future developments. Unless you are purporting to know the future, you don't know.
B. YOU DON't KNOW where any secondary offering will be priced. My best guess is that it is priced at some discount (10-30% ??) to the PREVAILING MARKET. If the prevailing market is .0004 btc per, and you absolutely must raise cash, likely the new tokens will be offered at a significant discount to 0.0004. IF the prevailing market is closer to 0.01 btc per, your offer price will be much different, but again likely at some discount to market. It is absolutely insane for you to try and state where the market will be over the entirety of 2017. Think about it like this: Are we to assume you will work to suppress prices if they exceed 0.0005 by a wide margin?!? Your current statement appears to imply this.
Please stop referencing a specific time and price for any secondary - and just acknowledge it is all contingent.
That said, I am ALL IN with the few coins I've not already committed elsewhere. Hope to sign up to your sig campaign when it gets underway.
:-)

I'm all-in, with all the coin that I don't already have tied up in other ICOs or otherwise.
Please save me a slot in your sign campaign. I've only been lurking on Bitcointalk of late, but happy to be active again once the campaign gets under way.

So along this theme of btc is broken will they pay back the 60 million in btc or will the exhchange go belly up?
Must go belly up, I think. Unless some VC-type of angel investor wants the name and reputation of Bitfinex enough to buy them out. Not sure I see that happening. As a community we need a decent, large exchange with some characteristics of centralization to keep spreads tight and liquidity decent.
