Also interested on the sha returns ive got 1th thats currently redundant

Couldn't have said it better myself.  Me three!! HODL!!! 

I know this is probably an issue that's been rehashed a good bit but I cant seem to get my wallet to begin syncing. I'm noob to BTCD so be gentle 

- Run %Appdata%

- Go to Folder: AppData -> Roaming -> BitcoinDark

- create new text file and rename it BitcoinDark.conf (make sure you have "file name extensions" checked under the "view" tab)

Copy and paste the following into your BitcoinDark.conf file and save it:

rpcuser=username
rpcpassword=password
rpcport=14632
port=14631
daemon=1
gen=1
server=1
addnode=107.170.59.196

- Restart Wallet and see if it syncs

- If wallet still isn't syncing, try disabling your firewall and restarting wallet

Aptitude,

Thanks for helping the noobs.  GREAT community here, folks!!

You guys are doing a hell of a job with this currency! Keep up the great work!

I don't trust "third party authority", it just doesn't prove anything if the actual coin should succeed.. I rather trust track records and transparency which both are superior in this coin.

All the features that james has done for Nxt and the rumbling about the new code for btcd has earned my trust. Also he had to invest in this coin like everyone else so there is a good incentive to continue developing.

Other devs have created coin after coin with little to no utility for the purposes of getting practice at coding, feeding their greed or sheer ignorance of the futility of their efforts. Somehow you immediately stand out as different. Your mind seems to naturally assemble the very best elements from this community and to craft novel ones to fill the gaps to create a product with a single stroke that addresses the nearly each and every need in the crypto community.
Every type from devs, traders, investors, outlaws, philosophers, anarchists, and those that just want privacy and security when it comes to their transacting with the world need exactly what you've brought to the table. And the bit that amazes me most is that you seem to be able to address every angle each type brings to the discussion at their own level! Keep that mind of yours polished and ready to be admired by the likes of myself and others, James. I'm quite sure it'll eventually be the world over that profits from the fruits of your efforts.

Thanx
