For people that have trouble connecting or synchronising the CIF wallet, please create cif.conf and add nodes...On Windows, you will have to create this file if it doesn't exist yet:
%AppData%\CryptoImprovementFund\cif.conf
Contents of this file:
addnode=174.138.22.6
addnode=31.220.60.15
addnode=46.147.193.168
addnode=185.51.187.161
addnode=100.11.237.78
addnode=195.3.157.53
More nodes will be edited in here - so check back in a while to see if I added anything...
