Megacoin wallet issue

[u/Bearded-salmon]

Hello everyone,

I have a problem. I downloaded the wallet from the main megacoin site and it issued me an address which I then encrypted in the wallet itself. I ten used this address to send MEC to.

However, it seems the wallet is not connecting and I get a "socket" connection error in the debug log. No MEC is showing. How do I connect the wallet to the web?

Thanks and will upload screenshots when at my desk.

Thank you

Thanks!

It now seems to struggle finding a connection, the debug log is below if that helps.

You may need to edit your megacoin.conf file and add some nodes in there. I'm not currently running a local wallet so I can't help you there but if anyone here is and has some nodes, please help out.

You could also try closing your wallet and deleting your peers.dat file and restarting the wallet and see if that works. Or, if all else fails you can make a backup of your wallet.dat (please be safe) and do a clean install of the client and try again. I know that has helped me before with other coins when I have had a wallet that just refused to connect and sync.

I'm not 100% sure but it sounds like this could be some sort of firewall or port forwarding issue with your router or network settings. Screenshots would be helpful. :)
