@BurningMan, my Syndicate.conf file is empty, do i just add that list to the file? (i don't have a masternode)

Yep, add the list to the file. If you cant get connection to the network, I've uploaded the blockchain with a working conf file. Just download the zip, and put the files in a folder called Syndicate which can be found by typing %appdata% into windows search.
This has solved the problem for multiple people with connection issues.

However, anyone notice the windows wallet really slow sometimes? i couldn't keep it open.
I don't know if it has anything to do with multiple MN's on 1 IP, which I'm assuming this coin is allowed to do?
I hope an upcoming update will solve a lot of these issues.
