[Solved] Sync new Wallet No block source available - sent addnode address
-
IS it possible, that you are behind a restrictive Firewall, or a Firewall on your local system?
Suggested action:
- Check the log files for any Firewalls you may have
- you also could try to connect to the hosts manually with telnet to port 9336
- try to ping the hosts
- try to use a tor network as Kevlar does. You’ll need to install a tor client

I have the same issue. I downloaded the qt client 0.8.5 from feathercoin.com today. My wallet will not sync up. It continually shows no block source available even though I have:
-disabled my firewall
-added hosts as lists above
-deleted the feathercoin directory reinstalled it.Here is my debug log:

Have you got some nodes yet?
-
Unfortunately no.
I also have a separate client for litecoin mining which works. My firewall rules are the same. I even allowed all connections, disabled the firewall, everything. I am able to ping, resolve, and get replies back on the hosts in command prompt. Something is blocking this, its driving me nuts.

How about your router?
-
I checked this as well - I enabled logging and nothing is showing as being blocked. I do see the connections to the IPs in the router logs (DNS is resolving the names that the app is attempting connections to. One thing I notice within the app is that the connect through that my loopback address was listed as active on the proxy setting. I kept trying to kill this.
Apparently if you hit ‘apply’ and then ok - the setting reverts. You need to just disable this and hit ‘OK’. It looks like I got 1 successful connection… which is a good start.

Now i am syncing and downloading the chain! Thanks guys!

Great I’ll update to solved.

[/quote]Did you perform the steps described in this topic?

Same thing happening to me, unable to synch that Wallet, I tried everything since 2 days, re-installed 5 times as well…
I’m not interested anymore in feathercoin because of this shitty wallet.
All the other coin wallets that i tried so far, i never had any problems.

Hi Newb.
I monitored the connection to your wallet, when I gave you the addnode. It would appear that it is your network that is the problem.
