ECCoin (ECC) Takeover by Trusted-Cryptos Team [Griffith]

[Griffith]

the more people that just keep the wallet open at all times means it will be easier for people to connect. the network is reletively small right now so that affects the process a bit. im working on something that will fix that though.

[Griffith]

Is something going on with some nodes, because my wallet doesn't get connection to the ECCoin network atm?

By the way: thank you for saving ECC!

yeah. ive noticed that over the last day or two. im looking into it now

[Griffith]

i think the problem is geographical. my european nodes and stuff seem to be fine. but anything in USA or canada im having problems with. which is odd.

[Griffith]

Do yoiu have those european nodes, because I'm European too.

they are in the conf file. they are UK based. the BE you linked is actually UK as well

I thought as much. Is the other BE (129.21.141.60) down, then? The page won't load, although a tracert works fine.

alright. oso i was having trouble connecting on three wallets. so i did this and it fixed connection issues on all three. so try this.
go into the app data for ECCoin. delete the
.Lock
peers.dat
files. this seems to fix low connection issues. also double check to make sure your conf file matches the first posts

perfect. i had a feeling that would do the trick

so delete .lock and peers.dat just two files? Delete from %appdata%. Does this sound correct?

if you are having sync issues yes

Have you put correct eccoin.conf in your ECCoin directory?

[goldmaxx]

I tried everything as described above, but my wallet still won't sync...
Anyone with the same problem?

Can you confirm that you are on version 2.1.0.0

if so, then you can find ECCoin.conf here (depending on OS):

Windows: %APPDATA%\ECCoin\
Linux: ~/.ECCoin/
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/ECCoin/

Can you add the red addnode line. After restarting that should give you connections.

listen=1
server=1
maxconnections=100
rpcuser=yourusername
rpcpassword=yourpassword
addnode=129.21.141.60
addnode=38.93.234.100
addnode=54.72.236.49
addnode=88.20.74.221
addnode=23.251.134.93
addnode=88.6.128.253
addnode=38.93.234.101
rpcport=19119
rpcconnect=127.0.0.1

[Griffith]

another possibility is to change the addnode= to connect=
the other coins never use this because for most other coins connect= means connect only to that peer and dont look for others. however, i changed the connect= in ECC to mean try to always connect to that peer WHILE looking for others. its basically a more strict addnode but still does everything addnode does. so that can be another solution to get some peers initially

do I need to do anything for POS. How long does it take before it starts after i put coins into the wallet?

 no and yes  
your balance has to be at it's address for atleast 2 hrs, coin-age maxes out at 84 days (coin-age fuels the mining engine)
you can run the wallet as often as you like, the more you do the more your 'interest' will compound and the more you will be suporting the ECCoin network.
if you don't do anything for a long time you'll still get stake the next time you run the client
