I have a dual boot machine. Both Win7 64 bit and Win 8 64 bit. The qt client is working fine on both OS. I just booted into windows 8 and downloaded the qt client from worldcoin.in. Installed and instantly got 6 connections to the network and its syncing blocks now.
I appreciate it's working for you and other people. But there are also people like myself and others who it's not synching for correctly. I don't think it's an OS issue but something is not right. I count 4 people on the last two pages with issues like myself. You have probably checked everything out. But all I could suggest is your firewall on pc and router. Or try deleting peers.dat and restarting the client, if that dosent help maybe try get a copy of peers.dat from someone else?

I count 4 people on the last two pages with issues like myself. have you got it sorted? I haven't, it just doesn't connect. Tried with worldcoin.conf, without, with addnodes, another machine, my XP netbook, restart modem (60/6Mbit cable), flushdns, forward ports, enable upnp, disable upnp, several socks proxies, delete all files, restart, etc. Don't have any of those problems with other coins, Worldcoin only.

im working on it now seems all the connections are just timing out.... the original connections are pretty much just dead and most of the addnode connections are dead to
anyone with a running copy of WDC willing to pm me there ip then i can sync it to my server for everyone?

I had some problems syncing too. I deleted peers.dat, worldcoin.conf and in settings->options->network checked "Map port using UPnP". I restarted the wallet and have now got 8 connections in the last minute. Not sure if this was just random luck or if any of what i did helped.

it seems like luck the smae thin happend with junkcoin all the new users trying to connect to the same 2 ip addresses for the peer list the default ip addresses fold and time out and so no one with a new install gets connections.... developers need to learn a very very basic rule with the first ip addresses MORE IS BETTER add 10 or 20 seed addresses not just 1 or 2
also the reason im asking for someone to pm me there ip address is so i can use add node add you to my list let my client get the database and a good peer list then i can remove you from the list and let everyone gett the database and connection peers from me as an addnode client

I just tried this and restarted and we are at about 120 seconds and it is just as dead as before. Do the devs realize it cannot go live on an exchange in this state?

as i said the reason is either the original ip are either dead or reached there connection limits which mean all of us new people get stuck with nothing (its why you see it get 2 connections then fall on its ass)

The devs probably think you are a twit suggesting that, I certainly do. The client works fine, there are over 700 people mining atm, and I bet most have wallets as there are no exchanges to keep your coins on. If there was a problem with the Windows client it would have been all over the forums minutes after the launch not a week after.

There are thousands of people connected, ive installed the new wallet and always comnected with 8 peers. Enabke upnp on your routers and check it off in your wallets.
