If anyone could donate to offset my loss of 1M coins, here is my new(now backed up) address: MimwZXkz2RKvhZDCbfDyWPHb1iUC1aDWW3  . I'd really appreciate it.

If you can get my Mac Wallet to sync, i'll give you 20,000 Mint.

Wallet Update:  Windows 7 - I do not even have a config file in the downloaded wallet.  Just .exe and .dll files

That is correct, you have to make the config file yourself, as per original post

I dont have .conf file, just downloaded .zip wallet, unpacked and run, everything is ok.

I was trying all day yesterday to get it to sync. I added the following to a mintcoin.conf text file and then saved it as ALL FILES. In the drop down menu when you're saving it change it from "Save as type:text document" to "Save as type:all files".  The moment that it started being recognized as a conf file, rather than a text document my wallet started to sync.

I get this message in my debug file wondering if this is the case...

[valley365]

for PoS I don't understand how to mine:

mintcoin-qt -server
mintcoind walletpassphrase <passphrase> <unlock_duration_in_seconds> true

Where should I paste thoses commands that are in first post?

first one in a cmd Window to open wallet

second one in a debug window of the wallet

this is only when you encrypt you wallet, otherwise you don't need to do it.

this is just the normal connection messages I think, some nodes your client can not connect, they timed out etc. These nodes could be off the port of mintcoin (e.g. not running mintcoin client). I have a bunch of these, but I am able to connect to some other nodes.

ok. this should help. hopefully you will have done a backup. i deleted my mintcoin file in appdata/roaming. deleted the mint wallet. downloaded and reinstalled the mint wallet.run wallet then shut it. open app/roaming again and open the mintcoin folder. create a new .conf file with
testnet=0
listen=1
addnode=198.241.46.170
addnode=162.243.4.85
addnode=211.28.143.54

maxconnections=100
server=1
daemon=1
rpcuser=your name
rpcpassword=your password
rpcport=12789
rpcconnect=127.0.0.1

then relaunch wallet,let it sync. then put your saved wallet.dat file back into the mintcoin file in app/roaming.let it sync again.sorted.

my mint address is in my sig. if it works for you i would appreciate any tips.cheers

Trying it now still starts with no connections was there an amount of time you had to wait before the wallet started to have connections?

This is the post that got my wallet working and sync started - the link in the OP with all of those nodes would not sync - WINDOWS 7 -  I jsut hope it syncs the entire blockchain now.

[benedictlol]

     Finally got Mac Wallet syncing  

When I say syncing, I mean 2 active connections yo!

Here's how I did it for anyone who still needs to get it working.

1) Download mintcoin-qt.zip from the OP.
2) Go to downloads and extract, you should then see a nice green icon 'mintcoin-qt' - drag this to your applications folder.
3) Open mintcoin from application folder (if it doesn't sync/connect go to step 4)
4) Open the finder, at the top bar of mac You'll see The apple logo, Finder, File, Edit, View, Go etc.  - Click 'Go' so that the menu drops down, then hold down the ALT key and you will see 'Library' appears in that list, click it.
5) Go to Application Support > MintCoin & Paste in the Mintcoin.Conf file.
The .Conf file should contain:
'testnet=0
listen=1
addnode=198.241.46.170
addnode=162.243.4.85
addnode=211.28.143.54
addnode=46.4.95.176
addnode=192.241.215.76
addnode=111.126.201.199
addnode=14.107.225.71
addnode=162.243.222.26
addnode=144.76.64.123
addnode=89.71.42.172
addnode=212.247.109.253
maxconnections=100
server=1
daemon=1
rpcuser=yourser
rpcpassword=yourpw
rpcport=12789
rpcconnect=127.0.0.1'

6) Reopen wallet from Applications folder, begin sync.

Wooow, where does all these hashes come from :O 4ghs.

[vectisitch]

took about 5 mins. must have been something messed up so reinstalling the wallet help. feel free to tip and leave trust if it helped you. only good if you backed up though.

mintcoin-qt -server

You had IRC conect failed too? I have been reading and what it says is it wont connect to the wallet if i cant connect to irc to get the other ips that are working

Can we spread the hash around a little. Our pool needs some more power:

Somebody has to know what to do, the wallet can't disappear just like that. Have you looked for a second mint folder in 'roaming' or searched your computer for wallets? There are also many on the forum who's wallet has been stolen by a trojan

[vectisitch]

always backup to an external drive or usb. i have mine backed up to 2 different hard drives

the wallet won't just disappear or change the address.. unless you mistakenly deleted the wallet.dat file?

sent my 600khs rig to your pool

with a lower pool hashrate you should market to people with smaller rigs they will get better rewards than being in the big pools with high hash rate.

Just a thought

New wallet available for Windows. Should improve syncing issues. Not mandatory if yours is already syncing.
