Hello. Friend ask me to try help.

Please for Windows do this.

If first install start step 3. If coins already sent to wallet step 1.

1. ) If you do not have Windows hidden files set to unhidden then go to the control panel, under appearance setting go to folder options, view, then click Show hidden files. Now go to the folder normally here if C is your main drive C:\Users\Your_Username\AppData\Roaming\ZirkCoin

2. ) Delete every files EXCEPT wallet.dat

3. ) Download wallet from https://mega.co.nz/#!8EdhQAYK!zxUJ0itrhxFCOIH3A21t5Hh31oM65AE2UH_o2LhTUGs
As post by shit dev here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=994869.msg10830308#msg10830308

4. ) If first install open wallet and close

4. ) Download this zip https://mega.co.nz/#!ccQGGCwJ!ZrnEAiLTzODNMIwIgTImmqi_Tfgq1GqcgjzFFDKyq0o

5. ) From zip put bootstrap.dat and peers.dat in folder C:\Users\Your_Username\AppData\Roaming\ZirkCoin

6. ) Open wallet and wait for import. This take you clear of problem block.

Wallet is fat if it look like sleep just leave it will come awake again and stop sleep once sync.
This not simple fix it is fix for now.
This work for me on Windows 7.

It not work for you please for clear report make post with problem and exact OS (Windows8.1 or what).

Ahhh finally got this working on my main windows machine now (win 8.1) maybe there is hope for Zirk yet. Thank you!!

@CaptChadd I don't know if you're trying to get cheap coins or something else, but if you genuinely want to help this project maybe you shouldn't be so dismissive of other people. This at least for me is a working solution. So what happens with Zirk now?

I'm not being dismissive at all but if you notice another user already posted a blockchain to download and instructions were given.

Why on earth I would want to cheapen the worth of Zirkcoin, when I paid out to get zirkcoin.org and pay for monthly hosting makes no sense.

It has been mentioned many times from members that have been registered on this forum longer than me, that it is a risk to download someone elses blockchain other than the one downloaded through the client, as chains can be manipulated, that is my only point.

If you read back on all my posts, I have actually told nobody to do anything and I never will.

Like I said before, I bought some Zirkcoin when the Dev was around, I still have some but I got into this coin as an investor and not thinking that I would be looked upon by some as though I would take this coin on to Develop.

I am the Extremecoin creator and developer and I have stuck by that coin since its release in late 2013, right now, I am not even sure I have the spare time to devote to help this coin on a development level, as I do my other dev work in my spare time as it is.

Ignore the Hero Member title that is on here, that just means I have posted a lot, mainly during the BBQcoin and early Extremecoin days.

The main thing is that I will never tell anyone directly to buy or sell anything, even my own coin that I Dev, that is for investors to decide.

I am taking just as much a chance holding onto my Zirkcoin, as the rest of the users who have invested.

Last thing the "Shit Dev" comments were really not needed, no matter who the Dev is but just on a level to keep this forum looking professional if future investors want to read though this thread to decide whether to invest or not and if they think the coin has been created and released by a "Shit Dev" then they will run a mile.

If anything I would not be the one on this forum thread "trying" to keep the price of Zirkcoin low.
