XMR is the future.

Im LOL at all you soon to be bagholders.. Dont you get it? The coin code is flawed. No fighting facts here. If I were you guys I'd be selling all my xmr and hopping into safe bets like btc and stealthcoin.

Its, as simple as that.

Ok.  Thank you for your warning.  Come back in three days and say "I told you so"

If it's a fact, why would we need your help to arrive at the proper conclusion? Is there a rush? Oh wait, there is--you're hoping to get panicky XMR holders to go running to the coin you own a lot of so you don't get holding that bag. Good luck, pick a dumber room next time.

Old news.

The different clients all run the standard bitmonerod.exe daemon in the background, if you go to the folder you saved MoneroClient.Net in you should have a Resources/Software folder in there with a bitmonerod.log file in. Unfortunately it does tend to log a lot of irrelevant errors but you might see what is causing a problem.

0 connections means it isnt talking to peers out on the Internet, most common cause is either Windows Firewall or third party security software - you need to make sure they are allowing bitmonerod.exe to connect to the Internet.

Also I find on my Win8.1 PC MoneroClient.Net is only really happy if I run it as Admin, but that's probably my fault

Doesn't that dude die?
