Is the Blakebitcoin wallet working. im getting a no block source available. ?
yep BlakeBitcoin is working fine here
make sure you add nodes to your conf as per OP
check your firewall can always add port= in conf to set to an open port
e.g
listen=1
maxconnections=180
rpctimeout=30
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcport=243
port= (set to an open port on your firewall)
rpcuser=youruser
rpcpassword=yourpass
addnode=146.185.135.24
addnode=162.243.14.130
addnode=188.226.213.85
addnode=107.170.140.27
can also add them in console with
addnode 146.185.135.24 add
addnode 162.243.14.130 add
addnode 188.226.213.85 add
addnode 107.170.140.27 add
