Making a wallet that WILL NOT sync automatically without adding and changing .conf files is really poor,

Unless the aim was to launch a wallet and a coin that was really difficult for your average casual computer user / crypto enthusiast to use,

In which case ... Well done !

Been trying to get wallet to sync for days now (Mac OSX)

PLEASE someone do a step by step walkthrough guide !

Will tip in LTC or BTC (would use MAX but ..... Hmmmm)

I had same problem....I did this and worked...

Windows Wallet ----> https://github.com/Max-Coin/clients/releases/download/v1.0-windows/wallet-windows.zip

OSX Wallet ----> https://github.com/Max-Coin/clients/releases/download/v1.0-osx/wallet-osx.zip

Linux Wallet ----> https://github.com/Max-Coin/clients/releases/download/v1.0-linux/wallet-linux32.zip

Run wallet and when it opens close it.

Go to:

- Linux /home//.maxcoin/maxcoin.conf

- Windows C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\MaxCoin\maxcoin.conf

- OSX /Users//Library/Application Support/MaxCoin/maxcoin.conf

And create a file " maxcoin.conf " and paste this inside and save it:

rpcuser=maxcoinrpc
rpcpassword=supersecurepassword
rpcport=8669
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
server=1
addnode=maxcoin.cloudapp.net
addnode=maxcoinus.cloudapp.net
addnode=maxcoinasia.cloudapp.net
addnode=maxexplorer.cloudapp.net
addnode=213.179.202.19
addnode=wombat.dar.sh
addnode=151.236.222.216
addnode=87.247.111.39
addnode=115.77.50.218
addnode=107.170.41.175
addnode=49.69.110.241
addnode=190.245.206.9
addnode=49.49.175.102
addnode=144.76.45.199
addnode=183.8.179.161:61610
addnode=188.226.132.195
addnode=94.52.19.22
addnode=162.243.64.158
addnode=194.102.32.44
addnode=119.196.119.17
addnode=217.198.117.29
addnode=115.28.8.149
addnode=183.25.152.244:49198
addnode=58.76.245.137:59963

Open wallet again and let it sync.

A few people are getting into trouble with creating the .conf file.

The answer to the error I'm seeing people get is that the maxcoin.conf file is created in notepad and has to be saved with a .conf extension and not a .txt file extension.

The confusion is that although it is shown as .conf, the actual file is saved by default as a .txt file......so you get maxcoin.conf.txt - but you don't see the .txt

To fix this, you have to show hide all file extensions and then remove the .txt part

maxcoin.conf.txt goes to just maxcoin.conf

Apply the nodes above, give it an hour to start syncing and then when it starts it takes a couple of hours.
