new to bluecoin but also experiencing the problem whereby wallet will not sync; shows zero active connections to network. tried running as admin but to no avail. any thoughts?
tried turning off netguard for bluecoin too, no help
I tried to find you a .conf file, but I don't have one for blue the latest wallet, it seems to sync fine for me with 11 active connections. if your wallet is the latest (1.2.1) then try just leaving it running in the back ground for a few hours
This is exactly what I have in my bluecoin.conf (better than just leaving it run in hope to connect)

I hope this helps. Tired of just sitting back & watching, when I have the knowledge to help

start > type %appdata% in the search bar > open the roaming folder > open the bluecoin folder
create new text document > name it bluecoin.conf > make sure it's .conf & not

Some coders add this when wallets are updated, making it easier for the user. Should really be a mandatory thing when building, also having a blockchain option for a new wallet to sync

Makes me wonder if anyone has created a guide for development on supporting/troubleshooting (The IT guide for noobies, probably what they would call it) for people new to crypto, if we don't make it simple for anyone to use it, why build it? To make people learn on their own, not many people are willing to do that & if we want to focus on real world adaption, technical support is a must. We all started somewhere, but only the ones with knowledge can help the new users of crypto have a good first impression

It seems Bluecoin (BLU) got a wrong fork.
All Bluecoin miners are redirected to the AutoSwitcher
We are currently fixing it.
Looks like several pools have removed Bluecoin, also many outdated links in the OP. Some of the social sites haven't posted in months, tough times in crypto as of late.
