Re: [$XVG] VERGE [POW][MultiAlgo][TOR/i2P][no premine/ico!]

I still have the old Electrum Windows wallet and for the last few months I have had problem with syncing the wallet. The network button always stays red. Is this wallet still supported? If not, is there any guide how I can merge to a new wallet?
Thank you.

you have a few options. our tor electrum is still supported, or you can export the private keys from that wallet you have, and import them into a qt desktop wallet.

desktop wallets can be found here:

I downloaded and installed the 6.0.2 wallet. Opened the wallet and closed. Downloaded and moved the blockchain data. Now the wallet shows I am 2 days behind but it's not syncing. I have 0 active connections to Verge network.
Is there any guide that would help me to set this up?
Thank you

you probably need to delete the peers.dat (while the wallet is closed)

I was able to connect and sync with the Electrum Tor wallet but no luck with the QT desktop wallet 6.0.2. I even tried 2 different computers, reinstalling the wallet and blockchain data, deleting "peers.dat". It just doesn't connect and not syncing. Kind of lost at this point. Not sure what the problem might be.

do you have tor running seperately? that would prevent the tor inside the wallet from connecting. are you in a country that blocks tor?

try starting your wallet with verge-qt.exe --dynamic-network

Thank you for your help. I finally figured it out.
Seems like AT&T (ISP in US) is restricting the connection even though the old Electrum Tor is connecting fine.
My friend who has Comcast (Another ISP in US) installed the QT wallet and connected right away so I tried connecting via T-Mobile hotspot and also connected/synced up right away.

great. thats strange though. US shouldnt have any issues with Tor. maybe try restarting the computer, or trying --dynamic-network or --without-tor

I don't understand either. Especially that Electrum Tor is working fine. I tried everything possible I guess. Even bypassing my router and going directly through modem.

if you are still running tor seperately, like you do for electrum-tor, you will need to close it. verge-qt wallet has tor built in already.

Yes. Tor wasn't running.
