I have also tried to install this wallet and spent many days to do it during the course of the last 6 weeks. But nothing works. I never had any problem to install other qt wallets and the frustration with this wallet is driving me mad.
I made the mistake to buy BTCD on NXT AE and sent them a few weeks ago to the wallet I installed on my computer. As the wallet gave me a receiving address I have sent some BTCD to this address but always get a message: wallet "out of sync". So I fear those BTCD might be lost if I can't get this wallet running and get the private key.
Now I see that some helpful souls are giving some help to people but I am hopeless with technical stuff. For instance I would like to add nodes to BitcoinDark.conf, but don't find where BitcoinDark.conf is located on my computer. I have "BitcoinDark-QT-auto-conf" and when I click on it I have: "BitcoinDark-qt...", so where am I suppose to add the nodes?
Thanks for answering.
you have to search for the following folder (don't know the exact path)
"c:/user/appdata/roaming/bitcoindark"
there you should find the file BitcoinDark.conf
Add the nodes in this file and restart your wallet.
and
nothing is lost as long as you made a backup of your wallet.dat
