Sorry guys, I did not follow this thread for few days (Bitcointalk didn't send me a notification of new post to the thread update - that's strange).
I assume the correct conf file is "bullion.conf", because after I put the "connect" entries there, they made an effect.
I have installed temporarily nodes on two Linux servers, and will try to modify the source code a bit, to stake at least once... Lets see if this works, if not, I'll try to rend the transaction as Timelord2067 suggested.
