I looked in the debug log. I think the error lies in here somewhere.

Please advise.

You're not properly connecting to the IRC. Could someone post a list of nodes for this guy to add? I'm on mobile right now.

The only reason the other wallets are working is because you have a peers.dat file for them already.

Artos, what did you think of my idea of consolidating 1 year old transactions?

Is it possible? Or do I simply have a misconstrued idea of the purpose of transaction fees and blockchain size among other things?

That's essentially block chain pruning, and it's already in the works for bitcoin.
