My wallet will not download the block chain either, just like this person mentioned:
I cannot for the life of me connect to the network to download the blockchain, my settings are correct, maybe my port?
listen=1
daemon=1
server=1
rpcuser=have name
rpcpassword=have password
rpcport=12378
rpcallowip=*
rpcconnect=127.0.0.1
I tried this but removed "rpcconnect=127.0.0.1" and added
addnode=68.43.193.187
addnode=24.10.97.6
addnode=24.236.189.198
as suggested two posts down, so my conf file looks like this:
listen=1
daemon=1
server=1
rpcuser=have name
rpcpassword=have password
rpcport=12378
rpcallowip=*
addnode=68.43.193.187
addnode=24.10.97.6
addnode=24.236.189.198
Does this conf file go into the same folder as the "grandcoin-qt.exe" or does it go into the local/roaming profile folder somewhere, and do I have to have some sort of usable username and password, and where to I get/find/create these?
