does anyone have a .conf file?
my wallet won't synch - no connections.
You get addresses from DNS seeds + IRC. That's enough to get started.
well my dns works fine because they're my dns servers I have 6 of them and two only do authoritative look ups.
These are not DNS to resolve domain names into IPs. These are core servers to give out lists of client addresses. These servers have their names listed in every wallet. Make sure your firewall doesn't block orbitcoin-qt.exe and you have port 15298 forwarded properly on your router if it doesn't support UPnP. I have just started the client in a clean VM and got 12 connections in a couple of minutes without any forced addnodes.
I have 43 credits of 2 ORB each and all on 11/05/14 with the last one at 12:19. It is now past 9 days and I have now POS reward.
When I hover of the staking symbol it says:
Staking enabled for 43 inputs weighing 382 coin days.
Do i have to wait until 387 coin days (43*9=387) for a POS reward?
No, that's a cumulative weight of your wallet just for reference. About 10 coin days per input, not much actually. A particular input has good chances of staking at the lowest network difficulty with weight ~100. Higher the difficulty, more weight needed. You can see what inputs/weights you have in the Coin Control (Settings->Options->Display to enable).
