GRIDCOIN Wallet problem

[Scalextrix]

Hi so I have been using BOINC for many years and I just saw the GRIDcoin effort and I want to join in.

I followed the instructions but the wallet will not sync, it just wont.

Here is my gridcoin.conf file (username and password obscured):
'rpcuser=xxx
rpcpassword=xxx
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcport=9332
server=1
poolmining=false
cpumining=true
restartwallet=0
addnode=98.114.181.178
addnode=76.187.184.27
addnode=66.187.94.194
addnode=76.74.177.224
addnode=84.125.196.167
addnode=71.233.139.62
addnode=72.92.48.105
addnode=72.208.65.226
addnode=77.64.220.124
addnode=50.152.78.46
addnode=207.229.136.136
boincappfolder=C:\Program Files\Boinc\
boincdatafolder=C:\Boinc\'

Can anyone help?

cpumining is currently being redesigned, so that should be "false". Use the "upgrade" command in console to get latest version. What version are you running right now?

cpu mining now = false

First install was today so versions are:
Qt 4.8.5
Gridcoin v2.0.5.0-g71-prod

OK I found the Debug Console (total noob), but typing commands like upgrade seems to do nothing...?

On the Information Tab:
Network = blank
Number of connections = 0


I checked windows firewall and there are inbound allowed rules, rules also existing in Norton 360 firewall allowed, tried turning firewalls off = no effect.

I just upgraded mine with the "upgrade" command and my version is v2.1.0.7-g71-prod .

Alright, the upgrade command seems to have worked this time, im on the same version as you now:
v2.1.0.7-g71-prod

Still not syncing though

I noted that from other posts incoming port 32760 seems to be important, I checked on canyouseeme.org, when Gridcoin is running the service can be seen, when Gridcoin is not running the service cannot be seen

make sure to delete the old blocks and chainstate folders in appdata/roaming/gridcoin!

also put  addnode=www.pgp.mx  to your gridcoin.conf

Frankly, this is just not a reasonable scheme, the only point was to cover some electricity costs of running BOINC, Im not trying to get rich.

So thanks to the forum, but I really cant be bothered.

Read over this tutorial, maybe you missed something. My wallet is working and synching fine, so I don't know what else to recommend.
