Hi everyone! I'm super brand new here - I just figured out how to reply.

Last night, I downloaded the wallet from nycoin.net - easy enough (especially because this whole crypto and 'wallet' thing is so new to me).
I followed all of the instructions, one by one, including how to make the .conf file.
Everything seemed to be installed properly, with one exception. I had zero active connections to newyorkc network. In other words, I couldn't sync. Then I realized that although I made the Word Pad .conf file, I never saved it in the newyorkc folder. So I did that.
Great! It was working! I had one bar, and it was syncing. Only about a million and a half blocks to go!

All of a sudden, my active connection was gone. I don't know what happened, but I'm not able to sync any more.
I've read through some of these pages, but I haven't found any answers. Have any of the nodes been updated that maybe I'm not aware of? Here's what's inside of my .conf file:
rpcuser=nycuser
rpcpassword=somepass
rpcport=18823
addnode=76.95.178.229:17020
addnode=82.200.205.30:17020
addnode=163.172.222.175
addnode=5.101.122.184:17020
addnode=213.239.211.229:17020
addnode=188.40.78.31:17020
addnode=120.77.149.118:22556
addnode=118.123.245.243:22556
Thanks in advance for any help that you could provide. Also, I realize that NYC has changed from Coin Gather to YoBit. I did buy coins in Coin Gather before the change. Once I get in sync with my wallet, will I still be able to move them from Coin Gather to my wallet? Thanks again! (Upstate New Yorker here
