"Open your wallet, and make sure you are connected to another wallet.
You are connected if you see the icon Wallet Connections in the lower right corner of your wallet."
I'm not connected to 'another wallet.' And this gives no explanation why I need to connect my wallet to 'another wallet', and/or how I would go about that. It couldn't get more useless ...
I had this problem, just put the CONF file in the %APPDATA%\POKERCOIN and reset the wallet it start to sync ... wanna know about the mining(stake) now ... it's not just leave the wallet open?

I don't find this "%APPDATA%\POKERCOIN" on my PC ... desktop wallet doesn't sync with anything ...
for example: c:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\POKERCOIN\
Yeah ... I don't have that file on my PC. Anyway I've just given up. Installing and using a wallet shouldn't require this much time and effort on user's part. (I've got several other wallets, including desktop, so I don't think it is me.)
I did vote at Bit-z ... and still collecting Pokercoins ... hope for the best.
Did you make sure to select "Show Hidden Files" in your file browser in your \Users\Username directory?
I have the same issue. The only difference is that I can see the files in
C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\POKERCOIN
I also copied the following data to the POKERCOIN.conf file:
rpcuser=yourusername
rpcpassword=yourpassword
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcport=21662
listen=1
server=1
addnode=s.poker-coin.org
addnode=s.pokercoinnode.xyz
addnode=s.pokercoinnode.com
addnode=128.199.53.243
when I open the desktop wallet, it is still in out of sync. Wanted to keep the wallet open for this night and see what happens!!
