I have been reading back several pages. Many people are having problems getting the wallet to sync or connect. I have updated my conf file with the info listed over the past several pages. still no luck.
Please fix this. I want to be part of the BTCD club too...but i can't do so without a working wallet.
Could be your internet connection. For example, my wallet will sync when I'm on Mcdonald's wifi, but it won't sync on Wendy's wifi.
I would try deleting everything then restarting at the mcdonald's wifi. Don't forget to delete the AppData -> Roaming -> BitcoinDark folder (backup wallet.dat first!)
