Hey fellas. Just downloaded 1.2-beta win32 client from sourceforge and trying to get it up and running but seemingly not finding any peers. Anybody else having this problem? Is the preferred scenario setting up a linux box and compiling from source?
Same problem here. The advice from page 172 helped me; I did the following steps, and after a few minutes was synchronizing blocks with the network:
- closed primecoin-qt
- deleted peers.dat from %AppData%\Primecoin
- created primecoin.conf in that folder, and put this line in it: seednode=primeseed.muuttuja.org
- loaded primecoin-qt, and after a few moments the Help->Debug Window showed an increasing block count and date
HTH
It appears as though it just took it several hours to find a peer. Looks like i've got it now. Next step, try to make a coin or two
