I really hope not ... what makes you say that?

What is your most important technical concern to change on this coin?

yes stuff are going bad with cryptopia
they are doing unprofessional stuff,posting personal information of user on the forum, dislisting coins  because someone they don't like post in the coin thread 

they also dis-list DMD,ether and more, ho wanna trade there ?  definitely no future there

Agree on both points.

It must also be obvious to any that actually peruse many coin threads that DMD is the short bus of crypto...their problems are a direct result of their own idiocy.  I follow many coins and am always amazed at how stupid the statements made by the DMD dev and promotional team are, and even more amazed how many people eat that bullshit up like it's chocolate pudding.

How do you addnodes= (peers) to the HoboNickels.conf file?
The file doesn't exist in my HoboNickels folder. I tried inserting my nodes list from another wallet using the console but it didn't work. My new wallets on 2 different computers (Windows XP and Windows 7) can't find peers.
Has anyone trying to install a new wallet recently have similar problems?

My old wallet on my original computer (XP) works perfectly.

Thanks. I did create a HoboNickels.conf file in the same folder as the wallet.dat and peers.dat but that didn't work. Windows did add a .txt ending to it which I got rid of. I tried hobonickels.conf in lower case as well. Zilch.

My debug file reported:
"ERROR:Caddman: :Read() : open failed" and
"ERROR: GetMyExternalIP() : connection to ... failed"
"No valid UPnP IGDs found"

After seeing your message I created another .conf file in notepad, but saved it as "all files" .conf to avoid the .txt extention. Still getting same debug errors, then "Unloading wallet" and "HoboNickels exited". My firewall is set to allow HoboNickels. I'm using the same modem as my good HoboNickels wallet.

I'm wondering whether some ISPs are blocking peer-to-peer connections and whether it's new wallet installations that are affected?

Hobo is unique

All my other wallets, including my usual HBN wallet, all work without UPnP enabled in my modem. From my experience it seems to be new installations that need UPnP enabled. Try it. It takes just a few minutes to download the latest HBN wallet and start a new installation. It will quickly become clear if no peers are being connected. The debug file will also confirm this.

When UPnP was enabled I did notice a very significant increase in the number of connections, also with my normal HBN wallet. It currently is 62. Usually it is a handful - certainly less than 10.

I'd be interested in hearing from anyone installing a new wallet without UPnP enabled in their modems and only UPnP enabled in their wallets (default setting). Was your experience similar to mine?

Maybe this is far fetched but I'm wondering whether it is possible in some way that someone could be making it more difficult, or blocking connections that are not UPnP enabled for their own selfish reasons?

First of all, calling Cryptopia "inferior" is inflammatory. We are lucky to be on that exchange. OK, it is one of many exchanges that are striving to become firmly established, but it has served me well and I actually prefer it to some of the much larger exchanges.

Secondly, instead of negging out, why don't you get off your arse and do something about it you Moaning Minnie? If you want another exchange, don't drag others down. Start a co-ordinated movement to convince another exchange to take HoboNickels on.

Finally, I suggest that you might want to look at ways to stimulate volume. I have a few ideas of my own which I might want to bring into fruition at an appropriate time.

Stop the carping and do something positive.
