WALLET SYNCING FIX
I have been having the same problem as many other people here where the wallet won't sync past block 8786. I have tried all of the fixes posted here and none worked. I did the following and my wallet is now working perfectly.
If you go to Help->Debug Window->Console in your wallet and type "getpeerinfo" you will get a list of all the nodes your wallet is connected to. This is where the wallet gets the blockchain info from. For each entry look at the "startingheight" number, this shows what block that particular node thinks we are on.
If you have lots of nodes that say: "startingheight" : 8786, or some other number in the 8000s then your wallet is going to get confused as it is getting conflicting information.
I simply went through and listed all the nodes that were showing the correct block number. (as of writing we are on 9658)
Now you want to stop your wallet from automatically searching for nodes to connect to, so it won't find and connect to these 'bad' nodes - this is done by using "connect=IP" instead of "addnode=IP".
So, to get your wallet working do exactly the following:
1) Shut down the wallet completely.
2) Go to C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\cleanwatercoin.
3) Delete everything EXCEPT wallet.dat and cleanwatercoin.conf.
4) Open cleanwatercoin.conf and delete everything then paste in the following and save.
connect=176.14.88.234
connect=107.170.217.4
connect=67.82.168.57
connect=97.102.24.119
connect=188.226.199.223
connect=water.suprnova.cc
5) Restart the wallet.
Your wallet will now download the blockchain ONLY from those 'good' nodes that are specified. This will take a little while, be patient but it should fully sync eventually.
Please post other 'good' nodes that you find so they can be added to the conf file in future.
Please let me know if this worked for you.
Thanks for this info, but it didn't work for me.
Where did you put the .conf file? It must be placed in the C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\cleanwatercoin\ folder.
Also, make sure it is a .conf file not a .txt file. Right click the file and click Properties, if it doesn't say "Type of File: CONF File (.conf)" it won't work.
Yep, got it to work in the end by putting it in C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\cleanwatercoin\ folder.
The reason I didn't put there in the first place was because, the step 3 above assumes it to be there but mine wasn't, so I left mine where it was.
