Okay I've had this issue ever since the new version 1.6 came out. It is connecting with at least 8 connections to the network, so I do have my wireless switch on.
The error I'm getting is : "Warning : Displayed transactions may not be correct! You may need to upgrade, or other nodes may need to upgrade." So I'm pretty sure my nodes aren't up to date. I manually added the dogecoin.conf file to the same folder as the wallet.dat file, but I wasn't sure what to put in there. I found all kinds of answers. I am on OSX 10.9.2 but I don't think that has anything to do with it, other than (maybe) where the .conf file is supposed to be.
Anybody wanna give this a shot? I have some Doge I'll need to sell at x100 the price when Talladega is on.
