Wallet doesn't load quebecoin.conf or québecoin.conf in any case I think!
I have wallet properly configured with nodes from the first post.
I tried load wallet with -server option and I get error window.
This makes solo mining impossible for me.
Let someone try to start wallet with -server option and see for yourself.
I did the "addnode 54.86.39.92 add" from the console and just let it sit for a few minutes and it started syncing.
But the dev might consider removing the é from the code and recompiling as I think that could be causing some issues for some.
