Thanks for your support 

Currently the Wallet requires a config file.

The file needs to be named olddognewtricks.conf

create the file olddogsnewtricks.conf file in the c:\users\"username"\appdata\roaming\olddogsnewtricks\ folder*

Replace "username" with your windows user name.

Open with notepad or a text editor
add the following lines

addnode=178.21.114.97
addnode=38.99.38.142
addnode=94.213.57.4
addnode=93.157.4.11


Save the file and restart your wallet.  you should then be able to connect.

My apologies for the hassle, this will be fixed in the next wallet release, the programmer is on holiday at the moment, and will address it upon return.

*(You may need to go into windows explorer folder settings and uncheck "hide  protected operating system files" to see the appdata directory)

About Old Dogs New Tricks.

Old Dogs New Tricks is a rescue for older dogs that are unwanted and abandoned.  We are a 501c3 non-profit organization of volunteers who provide veterinary care and meet the day-to-day needs of senior dogs while they look for forever homes.

As you might guess, a rescue like this is very expensive because the dogs we rescue often come to us in bad shape from years of neglect. Our vet bills are enormous and the rescue is mostly run on donations from generous people and the wonderful volunteers that help us out.  Susan Call is president and founder of Old Dogs New Tricks. Susan has Multiple Sclerosis, and is confined to a wheelchair, but her handicap does not stop her from giving 100% of her energy to the rescue.


Once the dogs have been rehabilitated, ODNT cares for them and sees to their day to day needs as they look for permanent homes for them.

We are running this Crowdfunding project for the purpose of supporting ODNT. The planned uses for the funds generated are listed transparently below.  The primary purpose of the ICO is to invest in safety and driving upgrades to the Rescue's handicapped accessible van so that Susan can independently take care of the day to day business of the rescue.


Of the total funds raised, 34 BTC will go toward improvements in the rescue van.  In addition to the funds raised for the rescue van upgrades, 6 BTC will be used to purchase a sponsored exchange listing, as well as 5 BTC for fees and development costs and 5 BTC for future wallet updates and improvements, for a total of 50 BTC.

The funds will be raised in a ICO crowdfunding offering at the digital currency exchange Yobit.Net. The offering will last for 7 days, after which time half the funds raised will be placed in a buy wall and the trading will commence. The developer funded buy wall will be maintained for four days, or unless it is consumed.

The wallet will be released at the start of the ICO, so traders can capitalize on the staking opportunity.


Breakdown of Planned Use of Crowd Funded Proceeds:

Rescue Van Handicap Vehicle Safety and Driving Upgrades  34 BTC
Coin Development Costs and ICO Fees  5 BTC
Ongoing support and future wallet development 5 BTC
Reserved for Sponsored Exchange Listings 6 BTC
