Following the below procedure makes your wallet sync. Once you close your wallet you have to repeat the process to get it sync agian. So this is a temporary solution but it works.
NOTE for windows.. I have uploaded a conf file with two nodes.. Also updated the zip file (wallet) with this conf.
If you are having issues.
Best way to do it is. 1. BACKUP wallet.dat.. 2. Clean out data folder.. Leave wallet.dat there 3. Add the syscoin.conf file to the data folder. 4. Restart wallet and LEAVE it open..
Please dont use any other conf files at the moment (Or addnode lists you see around the place, these could be old nodes not updated). Let me know how you get on.
