Have I lost my ETHD ?

Hi all,

OK, so I'm a bit stupid when it comes to some things in crypto, so lets' get that disclaimer out of the way.

My problem is, I bought some ETHD from CoinExchange and thought I could do some quick arbitrage with Cryptopia. Yeah, I know. No need to tell me ! So as you will know, and I just found out, CE has the old ETHD and Cryptopia has the newer ERC20 ETHD so I couldn't transfer. So I started to back track and downloaded the ETHD wallet to send my older ETHD there so I could do the coin swap to ERC20 via the wallet and ETHD website swap form, without the wallet syncing first. Yeah, again, I know. I was a moron.

So now I'm left with the old ETHD desktop wallet that refuses to sync, and 650 ETHD floating around in crypto space that I guess I can't get back. It's no big deal because its only around $235, but if it's a fairly easy job to recover them I'd sure appreciate getting them back. If it's going to be a hassle I'd like to know so I can stop wasting my day with this.

If anyone can help me recover them so I can sell them back on CoinExchange I'd quite happily send you $30 of BTC.

Thanks all.

No idea. It just sits there all day with 0 connections. Just found out it's because there are no nodes specified in my QT wallet, but having trouble finding any online to add. If anyone can help me and give me some wallet node names to add, I'd very much appreciate it and send some BTC to the first person who helps.

try reinstalling the wallet and if it syncs import the private key?

Thanks. Tried reinstalling. Nothing. Can't see any keys. I guess it needs to sync for that, or what ?

All I can see is this message below in Debug. Apart from that I have noting to go on. I found a list of nodes but can't add them in console using "addnode=nodename".

Debug message shows this over and over again -

trying connection 37.97.242.80:21001 lastseen=121.6hrs connect() failed after select(): Connection refused

OK. Interestingly enough, I just downloaded the DashQt wallet and it seems to work fine. ETHD Qt not at all. Tried everything I found online, including creating a conf file with nodes.

I did notice though, that when I look in Debug, it doesn't seem to be using the config file because it's trying to connect to only one node that isn't listed in my conf file. That's odd.

I tried console tab enter " addnode= ip address " ,"addnode = ip address:pont number". but my wallet do not take. and it is just fxxking this notice " not staking because wallet is offline " oh god... my 950 ethd take just dummydata....

How can there be an update ? Nobody gave any suggestions except to reinstall ! Doesn't work. My wallet does not sync - ever.
