Hey,
I’m having a problem with the QT wallet. I have been staking normally for about 1 week, but suddenly yesterday it stopped working. It’s not synchronizing with the network, saying one of the messages on the headline. I haven’t done any changes to the wallet options etc. so it’s kind of a mystery why this happens.
Any help?

Which version are you running ?
What OS are you on?
What is the last block you have ?
How many connections do you have ?
Anything done with your inet connection since last time it worked ?
My reddcoin QT version is behaving fine (e.g. currently at block: 1002413 with 8 connections)
porttikortti if all fails: did you try restarting your client yet ?
erkan
Version is 1.4.1.0
Windows 7
Last block is 1000638
1 connection (usually has been 2-8 connections)
Nothing has been done with internet connection
I have restarted my client multiple times, doesn’t help.
It’s weird, it sometimes says “no available block source” and after some time “synchronizing with network” but doesn’t do anything.

try adding
-seednode=dnsseed.redd.ink to the commandline
or
seednode=dnsseed.redd.ink to the conf file

Oh, now i feel stupid. It finished syncing. It just for some reason took longer than normally.
Just another question. How do i get more connections? It has 8 connections and that’s the max i can get.
porttikortti when you only have a max of 8 connections, it means that you dont have the necessary port open on your network router.
For Reddcoin, you want to open port 45444. More specifically, it will depend on your router. You may also have to open a port on a firewall as well.
Gnasher
Allright, thanks for the help!
I tried opening the port on my router, but i don’t think i did it right, as the port forwarding thing is very weird in my router settings. Maybe i’ll just settle to 8 connections.
porttikortti 8 connections is ok for normal operation,
these are 8 outgoing connections
if you want to act as a full node, you need to open the port to allow external nodes to connect to yours.
Then you will see the count increase over 8
Gnasher
But with 8 connections i’m staking normally? and having the normal chances to win the reward?
porttikortti
Yes, it is ok, you will be staking normally

Allright, thanks for the help!
And happy new year

The other option for you is to add:
seednode=dnsseed.redd.ink
to the reddcoin.conf file and restart the wallet
Gnasher do you know why I can add seednode=dnsseed.redd.ink where ? there are a tutorial here? can indicate me?
tks

First you need to locate your reddcoin.conf file,
I am assuming you are running windows.
The typical path for windows is
%APPDATA%\Reddcoin\ C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Reddcoin\reddcoin.conf
By default this file is not normally created, so you will need to create the file if it does not exist
if file reddcoin.conf does not exist, then create it.
add the line
seednode=dnsseed.redd.ink
to the file and save
be careful that the file is named reddcoin.conf
and not reddcoin.conf.txt (this is a common mistake)
