Can someone please tell me if they can get the wallet working on XP and how they did so, rather than say something rude about needing to get a new computer like that last person - which is absolutely useless advice to me.
Otherwise I am selling my stake since I cannot receive it.
I know this really doesn't help but I'm running the wallet (v0.8.6.2) on XP and I haven't had any problems. What is happening with yours? Has the wallet fully synced with the network (lower right hand corner, green check mark)?
I unzipped the latest client, when I try to run it it gives an error message about the genesis block not being found and then forces me to close it.
Nothing is generated in the AppData folder.
I usually just unzip the wallet client (and other files with it) and it runs. First time I am having problems with a wallet on this computer.
You have the old client installed. So go to User/<yourname>/AppData/Roaming/GPUCoin and delete everything EXCEPT your wallet.dat. Then re-run the client. EDIT: The correct client is located in <directory>/GPUCoin. It is NOT GPUCWindowsQT. That's the old one and it won't work.
You can also try a conf file, which should be in the same directory:
rpcuser=<your username>
rpcpassword=<your pass>
rpcport=<I picked 6857>
daemon=1
server=1
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
addnode=188.226.166.12
addnode=107.170.227.7
addnode=188.226.169.204
addnode=128.199.220.62
addnode=107.170.36.126
Please note that my conf file is setup in case I want to solo-mine, which is not really a great idea tbh. All you probably need are the addnode lines.
