Hi I dont mean to spam the thread but id like to get access to my 5k EXCL and masternode so I am going to repost this.
I accidentally switched to "Connect to SOCKS5 proxy" because I was not able to get any connections so desperation checked that option, now I cant open the qt client it gives me an error? Is there a way that I can change this setting back to default through adjusting a file? If i have wallet.dat, will I be able to move it to a new machine and problem be fixed if I make new wallet and replace the wallet.dat?
the specific error I get is "Unsupported argument -socks found. Setting SOCKS version isnt possible, only SOCKS5 proxies are supported"
the problem here seems to be your OS saving the preference file,
i tried it on OSX and got the same problem.
seems to be a bug, do not tick the socks proxy box in preferences !!! for OSX i deleted a preference file then it would boot up with no socks button pressed.
/Users/UserName/Library/Preferences/com.exclusivecoin.ExclusiveCoin-Qt.plist
Windows will have similar preferences stored in the registry.
there s a setting somewhere that saves all the tick boxes, just need to find it and change the value, then it should start up ok.
**DISCLAIMER - fucking your registry is bad ok**
be careful
in this case you will be modifying a setting for the qt, this should have no impact on any other aspect of your OS.
if you are total noob/paranoid, google how to back up the registry and restore it.
..
you want to open regedit.exe, find the setting, modify it, then hopefully bob's your uncle.
1. open regedit.exe,
2. Edit/Find
enter exclusivecoin, keep pressing "Find Next" (or F3) until you find something that looks like this.
this is for a different wallet. but it looks like fUseProxy is what you want to change,
double click on it,
change value from "true" to "false"
then restart wallet.
