i don't know. probably?

okay, so now i know where unobtanium.conf file goes, but i still don't know what it is. do i just make a blank text file and save it as unobtanium.conf? if so, what exactly do i need put as text? is there something i can copy paste?

can you see how terrible this all is for an "average" user of crypto? I mean, I grew up with computers, I work for a leading tech company, on the internet all day every day...muggles think i'm some tech whiz just for using crypto, so if someone like me is having a hard time figuring this out, then we're completely fucked for "mass" adoption. People are always like "we need to tell our friends and family to get in on this" but this whole shit show is a perfect example of why I am not "spreading the good word," so to speak.

please don't anyone take offense from my ranting, i am just extremely frustrated and need to vent.

I agree with you wholeheartedly. Crypto generally is in no way ready for prime time use or adoption. Yes, you can make it work, but for the "average Joe" right now I just don't see it.

Realistically android/i device and other mobile wallets are much easier to understand and adopt.

Providing a .conf file ready to download with short explanation where to put it on the website maybe no problem?

I grabbed 0.10 client peers from the Chainz explorer and put them into a sample Unobtanium.conf file.

You can download the Unobtanium.conf file from Unobtanium.uno. Choose whether you want the .conf (text) or .zip file, and download it to your desktop.
http://unobtanium.uno/download/Unobtanium.conf

http://unobtanium.uno/download/Unobtanium.conf.zip

Edit this file with any text editor, taking care that it is saved as a .conf file, and not renamed to a .txt file.
Change the Username and Password. The rest you can leave as it is.

Before proceeding, close your Uno wallet client.

Now we have to put the Unobtanium.conf file in the Unobtanium roaming data folder, where the wallet will find it. Here's how to do that:

In MS Windows, press Windows+R to bring up the Run menu. Type in %AppData% and then click/press Ok. Like This....

A file folder will open. Scroll down until you see the Unobanium folder, and then click on it. You should now see the contents of this folder, including your wallet.dat file. Don't delete anything in this folder.

Now find your Unobtanium.conf file on your desktop, and drag it into this folder.

Restart your wallet.

You're good to go.

This is for Windows. Sadly, I can't tell you how to do this on Mac or Linuxs. Perhaps someone else will step up and write it. You can use the same Unobtanium.conf file for Win/Mac/Linux.

LOL I was just about to add it too, you were faster - again!

I updated the site with download buttons and a link to your instructions, that should make it easier for newcomers to find.

Thanks, it's also linked from the OP now, just above the node list.
I will try to remember to regularly update the unobtanium.conf file on Unobtanium.uno, and also keep the list of nodes in the OP updated.
Still, the best place to get nodes is from the chainz explorer, where they list the nodes they have seen. Be sure to only use 0.10 nodes.
