If you have trouble connecting to the network, and have followed the above instructions without getting anywhere, you are most likely to have encountered on of the below.

1. You are blocked by your antivirus
2. You are blocked by your firewall
3. You saved the bitbay.conf file in the wrong location or you saved it as a .txt file instead of a .conf file

Please check for that, and if you still have problems, let us know.

Edit: You need to restart the wallet after adding the conf file.

Hi Mate, thanks for trying to help. However, I checked all the above including the conf file and my qt wallet does not get any connection to sync :s I have quite a bit of BAYs and I want to get them out of the exchange however I can't. What else can I do? Thanks

I forgot to mention that installing somewhere else than default location can be the source of trouble too. If you installed to default location, I suggest you join us on slack http://bitbay.market/wp-login.php?action=slack-invitation
Just ask for me in general channel and we can start troubleshooting step by step

I downloaded the mkt client and it's synchronizing   however my blk001 weights 1mb does the bootstrap works here? where should I paste it? >bitbaydata? or bitbaydata>database

Cheers

Yes, bootstrap works. It was last updated a month or so ago. Bootstrap goes in same folder as your blk0001 file.
Use notepad, and write this:
bitbayd.exe -datadir=%CD%\bitbaydata -loadblock=%CD%\bootstrap.dat
Save as a bat file.
Dobbelclick it after saving to start it.

Bootstrap from 1st page is fine. You can name the file anything you want. I called mine "bootstrap.bat"

Since we are talking about bootstraps...
I'd like to ask...
So what is the game plan on the bootstrap?
On this release at the end of month, will the bootstrap be programmed into the client installation file? Or will we still need to install it manually?
If manually, what about in the future? I mean will it ever be built into the installation file or always manual. I remember installing the bitcoin qt wallet about 6 months ago; the bootstrap was automatic and I had the entire bitcoin blockchain downloaded in about 6 hours. That's pretty impressive to say for bitcoin's chain and very noob friendly. If I was completely new to crypto and realized I had to wait 2-3 weeks for bitcoin to sync, it would be a huge turn off.
IMHO, since the rest of the new templates will be released on random intervals over the next few months, it would be a nice bonus to have the bootstrap automated for the sake of new users and at each new released template we could simply update the bootstrap along with them.

Thoughts?

whats happening with staking today? only 4 confirmed out of 28?

Most likely a big wallet has come online

I don't see how that would not be a big positive.

Yea, I just noticed after some researching that other coins are giving 2 options; to either download a bootstrap or the blockchain. I tried a blockchain download with one coin and was synced up in 5 minutes. It made the bootstrap seem like a slow dinosaur.

Would be nice. Especially for when we start doing something with the bitbay markets to entice people to use it.

where has everyone vanished to.. we were building a decent momentum for a while. I know the new templates are out any day now but nice to keep the chat going on here instead of vanishing to slack.

[TrueAnon]

Give it up this coin is dead.

[delong]

Give it up this coin is dead.

Just trolling for trolls' sake?  Because this coin seems as alive as just about any other smaller-cap altcoin right now - dzimbeck, etc. still very active and working to make this thing happen, as far as I can tell.

Sorry man, I've been busy making tutorials on youtube. Trying to get as much done before the release

I guess some only are active when price is moving. Others are busy testing, making videos etc. We have a lot to get ready for the release, so that limits the time we can spend on BCT.

Yeah this is true. Slack can be pretty active sometimes and others bitcointalk is active. Lately though it looks like we got a lot of new members.

Hey, that sounds cool. Have you got any links would be cool to have a watch when you're ready.

Yea. I'm having a hard time with transferring an acceptable video quality to youtube. I'm just using open source OBS software.
Anyways... Completed a 'how to install the client' and 'how to create your first account' video. Working on a bootstrap video next. Heck with all the features there's going to be quite a lot of videos to make. It's the best way though... Visual walkthroughs are always better for noobs to use to learn quickly. And when I say noobs, I'm mean I'm trying to make it easy to understand even for people who've just discovered what crytocurrency is.
