Wallet always out of sync?

[tadspoles]

You can also backup your wallet file by going to File/Backup Wallet and save it to a location like your Desktop.

It still doesn't work, after an hour waiting it still shows not syncing and 0 active connections to goldcoin network

I backed up my wallet data file and deleted the wallet then reinstalled the updated version, replaced the wallet data with mine, but now my coins show up unconfirmed and still not syncing?

I think the problem is the 0 active connections to the goldcoin network, but even after reinstalling and waiting an hour, it still doesn't work... Any ideas?

try to close your wallet  then go to  C: users/owner/appdata/roaming/goldcoin    in there delete your peers.dat file  then reopen your wallet and see if that helps.  I just updated and already have 40 connections

I will try, thanks, anything helps really

[thegambler]

it did not work, any other ideas for why I have 0 active connections?

Still not working, I even tried using a peers.dat file from someone else's wallet, did not work. What is going on? My goldcoins have been unconfirmed for days because of my 0 Active Connections to Goldcoin Network, how do I fix this?

It sounds like the client is unable to access the WAN.

I'd suggest looking into possible software/hardware firewalls that may be blocking the client port and/or migrating your wallet to a machine on a different network.

How would I do this? Migrating it to another network or even seeing if the firewalls are blocking it. It seems as many people are having this issue

To my knowledge, there are no other open reports of this issue. I think the first step is in realizing that it's not an issue with the client and then proceeding from there.  Tell me more about your network in as much detail as possible.

Also, open the client and click Help > About Goldcoin (GLD) and tell me what version you're running.

-----> v0.7.1.7-gcf3abdf39d-beta

Information about my network? what do you mean?

I mean tell me about your network, about the devices, the wiring, etc. 



Also go here and see if port 8121 is "open": http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/

[thegambler]

Port 8121 is closed?

That's your problem. Now all we need to do is open it. If you are running firewalls, make an exception for that port and the client application.

I'll need detailed information about your system and network to help further.
