Thanks. Glad you like the wallet design - I need to tweak a couple aspects of it but I think it came out looking pretty good.

You should be getting connections, albeit not a huge number right now since there don't seem to be a lot of people staking right now and both our pools have gone down along with the other pools run by those two people. We just set up a new node which hasn't been hard coded into the wallet yet, so use

addnode=104.131.118.19:2332

and also try

addnode=72.130.92.25:2332

those should help.  

BTW, if you have any XSEED already be sure to fully sync it with an empty wallet or there's the potential for it to get stuck on it's own fork if the wallet decides to stake. I've had this happen with a number of staking coins in the past before I realized what was causing it.

Checking my wallet it looks like we're on block 67344 as I type this. Keep in mind a lot of QT or core-based alt wallets including BitSeeds will sometimes look like they're failing to sync if you happen to sync and catch up between blocks. So check the block number and if it's 67344 or higher then you're probably fully synced even if it looks like it's catching up.

But now that I think about it, I haven't seen this happen since we relaunched with our current codebase back at the end of April, so you probably just need to give it a little more time unless maybe your firewall is blocking it or something.

Let me know if any of that helps.
