For anyone stuck syncing their wallet. Create a runme.bat file in the bitcoin gold folder using the following, then save as a .bat file and run
bitcoin-qt.exe -server
addnode=109.192.23.101
...snip...
addnode=143.207.67.209
I just put all of this in the configuration file except for the "bitcoin-qt.exe -server" part, restart the qt and it started syncing.
This worked for me too.
This did not work for me. I've tried the suggested method(s), on a Windows 7 x64 and a Windows 10 x64 PC and it still won't work.
During installation I selected different folder for the chain folder as the default location did not have enough space - could this be the problem ?
No this should not have any impact.
All I know is I was stuck on syncing for 8 years, I went to tools in the wallet, edited the configuration file, added the list of nodes as so:
addnode=109.192.23.101
addnode=143.207.67.209
...
Closed the configuration file, quit the wallet, launched it again and it started to sync.
Might want to try and deactivate windows defender/firewall on your windows 10 to see if it makes a difference.
