Using Mist should I be using Geth 1.3.3 (Go) or should I be using ETH 1.1.0 Develop (C++)?
Problem is when I have it set to Geth, Mist freezes at Searching for Peers when I launch it
Sync your Windows clock with a time-server.
Thanks, but already doing that by default
But did you actually force it to sync? Only a few seconds off and it doesn't connect to peers.
NTP services are broken on all versions of windows except XP. You'll need a 3rd party synch app to keep accurate time.
Get a list of NTP server IP address and use the IP only, do not use DNS lookup to resolve your NTP servers. You'll also need to rotate your list of servers frequently to keep up to date. This is a serious conspiracy and an encrypted NTP key is needed if you don't want to jump through hoops.
