Hello again, I'm having trouble getting my wallet to connect... I updated to version 2.0.4 and added a proper WeAreSatoshi2.conf file with nodes from the block explorer and I'm still not finding any connections.
does any one have a hint for me? I don't normally have issues with wallets so I must be missing something
Whenever I have a sync issue, I look for exchanges and pools that I could use as nodes. It isn't always the case that they use the same IP address for their wallet as the site itself; in the case of exchanges for security reasons, but it's usually easy to find with pools. Also, it has successfully helped me in the past trying to resync an old wallet by deleting the blockchain data being careful to get a backup first of all files and ensuring not to delete the wallet.dat file. It isn't always the issue though. What I also do that works usually is starting from scratch and copy/pasting the wallet.dat file into the clean slate.
I can't emphasize enough the importance to backing up your wallet.dat file.
