Having same problem with wallet. Tried with and w/o conf file. No peers or connections whatsoever

I have ran the same wallet on several computers and had similar problems.
I exactly followed the instruction, but ended up failing at syncing.
I succeeded by copying the exact files from my other rig which was successfully syncing.
But above option is not available for many new BTCDers.
I suggest dev making installer which will set up syncing conf file.
The single biggest problem that cause online retailers to lose money is simple failures during check out.
I think we might lose many new BTCDers due to frustrations while syncing their wallets.
I know many people help newcomers setting up, but it would be nicer if there's a simpler way.

The upcoming BitcoinDark wallet will automatically create a BitcoinDark.conf file with some known peers and a strong random password.

Will users still be able to manually create their own passwords with the new wallet?

Sure. What it currently does is check if BitcoinDark.conf exists or not. If it doesn't, it creates a new one with a few fields such as addnode, rpcuser and password, etc. and fill them in.

To create your own password, just change the rpcpassword field to whatever you like.

Ok so what you guys are saying is basically.... Deal with it and wait for new wallet? I cannot get access to my coins ?
the new wallet wont fix any connectivity issues you are having.
I think you just need to addnode the right nodes, just a few good ones are better than a lot of them
try deleting peers.dat

so make sure you are exited, delete peers.data and start again

if that doesnt work, then change the BitcoinDark.conf file to use just a few good nodes, which others can post about which ones they are

I have no active firewall. I tried deleting peers.dat. Ive also tried the BitcoinDark.conf from the OP aswell as copying only the addnode values from the OP to my BitcoinDark.conf. Still 0 active connections. ive never had something like this before. All other wallets are running fine  Huh

some times I have this problem and leaving the wallet open for many hours solved the problem.

Why would this work? Ive tried leaving it open for like 1 or 2 hours, with no result..
