a conf shouldn't affect your connections, are you sure thats the issue?
[edit] to add to this, if you are still having connection issues, you can add a few nodes to your conf from here:
http://hyp.cryptocoinexplorer.com/peerinfoI just assume it was the conf file. I left it on for a few hours while I went to work last night and when I got home it still didn't have any actual connections to the network. I added a few nodes. We will see if that helps. Does the rcpuser and password field make a difference as to what is actually entered into them?
Only if you are making rpc calls. Otherwise, no, they don't make a difference.
yeah.....I don't know what that is so that wont matter for me. I got it to connect to the network though. I copy'd the peers.dat and blkindex.dat from my mac wallet and it now connects to the network as well as loading up in about 10 seconds as opposed to a minute and a half
RPC can be SUPER handy on low power gear since you can pretty well do anything with it and the client daemon that you can do with the qt. (thus taking up less resources)
The problem though is the bin you are using is based off of older code and does not include some more sexier coin control calls. You could compile from source yourself, but this is a very time consuming process for the pi (and a pain in the ass in general). If you want to pursue that route there is help to be had from the community on doing so.

I am guessing the the pi script still links to /presstab/hyperstake but the main repo is now /hyperstake/hyperstake. So you may be on an older version, which had more problems connecting to peers.
Worse, the most recent bin available is 1.0.6. I wonder if super kasvain could cook another one.
