No block source available

[simiane]

Hello,

I've been trying to get the Primecoin wallet set up today and have had no luck. I just see the message 'No block source available'.
I've looked around and found a few posts suggesting adding certain node addresses, but none of them seem to work. If I look at the debug log, they're all listed as last seen around 70 hours ago.
Can anyone help me out?

[simiane]

This is becoming frustrating... all day I've been watching people talk about mining primecoin and I can't find a node anywhere that will let me get the damned wallet working.
Can someone plesae post back with some working node ip addresses?

Are you behind some sort of proxy? The dns and seed nodes have been working properly in the last few days.

[simiane]

Nope, no proxy or special DNS settings... Fresh install of the software yesterday. Had it running the last 24 hours.
Log file shows nothing but timeouts with very long last seen numbers.

Try adding this set to your configuration (primecoin.conf)

addnode=208.68.37.41
addnode=129.7.204.114
addnode=198.199.100.118
addnode=87.98.146.72
addnode=88.190.56.58
addnode=78.31.111.116
addnode=198.199.84.246
addnode=197.96.138.8
addnode=96.126.103.94
addnode=192.81.212.113
addnode=198.199.112.141
addnode=192.34.58.127
addnode=31.25.188.219
addnode=54.235.231.242
addnode=175.41.200.152

That worked for me - thanks a lot!

How do you access the config file?

[simiane]

Assuming you're on Windows:
Type '%appdata%/primecoin' into the run box to get to the right folder.
primecoin.conf isn't created by default, just create a new file and put your settings in it.

Alas, I don't know Mac or Linux, so I can't help if you're on those platforms.

linux the folder is hidden in the home directory and is called   .primecoin
