hi , I tried cut & paste into the sync.conf file in the appdata directory, but it still doesn't work, am I missing something here? I too have wallet that's been unable to synchronize for months.
Any help would be appreciated.
I presume that you put it in the same directory as the "wallet.dat" file in the SYNC directory of the Roaming folder under AppData?
Can you see the file name extension of known file types? If you create a text file does the name show file.txt or does it just show as file without name extension? It may be that you don't see the actual filename extension and your config file is actually named sync.conf.txt at this moment. Disable the default Windows option "don't show extension for known file types" and then you will be able to see and delete the .txt extension to actually get the sync.conf file name and extension.
Hope this helps!
