Sooooo... It's not even possible to boot the wallet easily anymore? I didn't think Potcoin would die so sadly. With a PoW change and a mildly failed fork... Sorry POT I'm all out for now.
If the seed nodes are down new wallets without any prior nodes in the peer DB will not sync. They will need to modify their potcoin.conf file with the nodes list from cryptoid. I think most people know how to do that but total newbies will be stuck. For people who have been using potcoin for a while they should have a sufficient number of nodes in their peers DB for this not to be a problem. Likely why you don't see many people complaining.
