The way i have mine set up-
Creat a bitcoal folder.
Inside of it create a lib folder and a config folder.
Get the latest forknote: forknote v2.0.4.1232
https://github.com/forknote/forknote/releases/tag/2.0.4-extract this to your lib folder
Get the configs:
https://github.com/forknote/configs (just download as zip)
-extract this in your config folder
create a .bat (bitcoald.bat for example) file with this: lib\forknoted.exe --config-file configs/coal.conf --seed-node=108.61.188.93:7700 --seed-node=78.47.186.74:7700
your node should start to sync. Wait till you get the Green Synchronized OK.
Create another .bat (Coalwallet.bat for example) file with this: lib\simplewallet.exe --config-file configs/coal.conf
your wallet will load the blocks and you should be in good shape.
