Firstly i dont have bitstar.conf file in bitstar folder. I create a new text and paste the addnodes in text editor than renamed the file. But it didnt solve my problem. Is it normal not to have conf file ? I havent tried second option. First i want to know if there is something else with my file.


Is there any problem with wallet ? It doesnt sync. Is it related with me ?

Hi! There is not any problem with wallet. There are few things you can try. Firstly add to %appdata%\bitstar\bitstar.conf file following lines:

addnode=164.132.19.178:62123
addnode=217.182.170.173:62123
addnode=109.169.71.17:62123
addnode=86.61.6.123:62123
addnode=223.134.230.204:62123
addnode=79.137.126.63:62123
addnode=172.116.88.221:6212

These are nodes that are  connected to cryptopia exchange bitstar wallet.

Secondly if your syncing takes long time you may consider using fast start pack from last april provided by bitstardev.

remove everything else but wallet.dat and bitstar.conf from %appdata%\bitstar\. You should take backup copies both of wallet.dat and bitstar.conf.

after that unpack faststart pack into %appdata%\bitstar\

after that restart wallet.

I hope these steps helps you.

Yes the Bitstar.conf file isn't created by default, so you have to create it yourself. The easiest way to do that (on Windows) is to open NotePad and paste in the addnode lines above, then when you save it put quotation marks around the filename like so: "bitstar.conf" That will force the exact filename in quotes to be used, so you won't end up with the ".txt" extension at the end.
