I followed the dev but my wallet did not read the block
Here is another workaround if you get "Ballzcoin node connection error" when starting the GUI wallet (it seems to be a problem with some PC's and not others):
1. Run the client binary in console mode (see
this post).
2. Wait for the client to sync and download the blockchain.
3. Run the GUI wallet. The wallet should load up.
4. After closing the GUI wallet, the correct way to exit the client is by typing 'exit' into the console.
