Delete all database files and peers (do not delete wallet.dat),
create conf file with:
addnode=76.25.201.234:8369
addnode=67.253.247.113:8369
addnode=node.syscoin.me:6369
This worked for me. Thx
works. as long as its not forked by some hacker peers

Haha, damn! I am still having trouble. I got to block 1663 with previous nodes. Took the above suggestion. No sitting unsynced and its not moving at all... very frustrating! (coin, not people trying to help)
Exit out of the wallet for a few minutes... Thats all it took for me. Servers are overloaded right now
