Patrick,
The "release" folder can be left on your desktop
to contain only
greencoin-qt
qrc_bitcoin.cpp
you must go to this address with greencoinv2.conf
C:\Users\patrick\AppData\Roaming\GreenCoinV2
Then Open the wallet -->
help > debug window -> console
type "addnode 73.12.235.88 onetry" (no quotes)
Now you will surely succeed and many who meet this will solve.
