1. Make sure you have the latest mandatory update.
2. Make sure your Firewall or Anti Virus software does not block wallet connections.
3. Make sure you have peers. If it’s your first time give it some time. However, if it’s not your first time, you can delete the peers.dat file and restart your wallet to fetch another set of peers.

It takes time. However, you can help the wallet with giving it a list of nodes: To apply addnode, you have to find your XSPC.conf. It should be here:

Windows: %APPDATA%\SpectreSecurityCoin\
Linux: ~/.SpectreSecurityCoin/
Mac OSX: $HOME/Library/Application Support/SpectreSecurityCoin/

Copy the whole list of peers listed here:
addnode=208.95.3.80:13338
addnode=208.95.3.81:13338
addnode=208.95.3.82:13338
addnode=208.95.3.83:13338
addnode=208.95.3.84:13338
addnode=208.95.3.85:13338
addnode=208.95.3.86:13338
addnode=208.95.3.87:13338
addnode=208.95.3.88:13338
addnode=208.95.3.89:13338
addnode=208.95.3.90:13338
addnode=208.95.3.91:13338
addnode=208.95.3.92:13338

and paste it to the end of XSPC.conf. Sometimes OS hides file extensions, so check if there’s an unknown file simply named “XSPC”. If you're still receiving problems, check your debug.log, look for errors and ask on SpectreSecurity Discord #help >> https://discord.gg/cxs6TWt
