This might be a great coin but if you cant get the wallet to work (sync) what good is it?
Ive tried everything, older versions, the newest version, editing the config file, deleting the config file, to no avail. It will not sync.

Though I admit Im a "newbie" Ive had other wallets. Gamecoin wallets, Feathercoin wallets, Litecoin wallets, UTC wallets, Betacoin wallets even a Barbecue wallet without any problems whatsoever.

So, Im just giving my 2 cents worth, if you find people are abandoning this coin its no because they dint have faith in it. Its because its self-defeating without a wallet that could work.

This is total BS. I have a 1 wallet on mac and 1 on windows running fine. If you're being genuine, I suggest you back up your wallet.dat file or send you coins to an exchange, then do a re-install. You could also start a new user account and do a fresh install there, sounds to me like you deleted something you shouldn't have.

Can you post you conf file? Also, have you deleted everything in the AppData/Roaming file? Delete the entire Mint file there, then reinstall.

Save the conf file to Mint in the AppData/ Roaming location. Then open Mint. I've had problems like this with other wallets. One thing that may work is to delete the rpcport from the conf file. Start Mint wallet, let it sync, then close it. Thenadd the rpc line back to the conf file and reopen the wallet. I have no idea why, but this has worked for me with other wallets.

I have no coins within the wallet since the wallet was never functional. I do however have coins Ive been mining at pools. In any case, the coins earned are useless unless the wallet becomes functional. I am happy yours is. Perhaps its a similar case of receiving graphics cards, and one of them doesnt work. But in this case Ive downloaded multiple wallets and none of them work.

Just incase the embedded image doesnt work (and it probably wont since Im not that technologically savvy), my proof is in the linked image here: img40.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=653616991_nosyncMINT2_122_438lo.jpg
Best of luck to all, whatever coin you may treasure.

Well, Thanks for the encouragement bjmillican4.

After rebooting my comp, and using the suggested addnodes (listed below) and adding them BOTH to the CONFIG file in the application folder AND copying the same config file to the application/roaming folders I was able to get it to sync.

Seems the kicker here is to add that config file with the newer addnodes into the application/roaming area than within the original downloaded folder the wallet came with.
Course a reboot, or two, on the ole comp can always be a charm.

Thanks again, bjmillican4, for egging me on

ITS SYNCING!!!

And a good ole reboot never hurt a thing neither.
Thanks for the help guys and gals

Glad you got it working. I've gotten pissed and posted about bad wallets too. It happens to everyone. Not sure why your trouble. It should be easier. Everyday people are never going to use crypto if they have to deal with these problems.

Computers can really be weird sometimes too, bjmillican4. Sometimes the inexplicable can happen and the computer seems to solve its own problems, sometimes as if it can think for itself.
Theres obviously issues with this wallet, as others have complained. Clearly theres a defect, even if we can walk around it. And I agree, its a deterrent to those who are exploring crypto. Still Ive never had trouble with other wallets, at least to date.

Thanks for the help though. Best to you and your pursuit of coins!
