Waiting for peers in Grin++

Tech Support
1

Hi.

In the Grin++ app, the status shows “waiting for peers”. Restarting/rebooting doesn’t help, same issue on another PC. Restarting Grin++ or running as Administrator doesn’t help. Node resync doesn’t help. Tor browser works. I even reinstalled Windows, and that didn’t work either. VPN didn’t help.

I can ping all these IPs. What can I do to get the wallet working?

Thanks. Indeed, GRIM has frequent updates. It worked right away, and there are no issues with peers. Grin++ hasn’t seen updates in a long time — better not to use it.

Having the same issue. On the first link from bruges it took me to Telegram. Was told that the “Project Dead”. The second link ‘NonLogs.io’, I do not understand where to go. Found through search on the net that if resynking the Node did not help with “waiting for peers” to exit Grin++, delete the node file, restart. No luck. Please help

Hi - I had a similar problem, ended up moving to Grim wallet. The good news is all you need is your seed phrase and it should be good to go. No need to move wallet files or anything else. Pretty sweet!

Hope this helps

Sometimes I find it hard to understand how someone could find this forum, register and ask a question, but at the same time couldn’t read carefully and find the correct link :wink:

7

Amazingly, it’s easier for some people to find rudeness than to answer a simple question. Just answer with “Don’t know the answer” or “Wrong place to ask your question”. Had this membership for 3+ years, but have never asked a question (that I remember). Thank you anyway.

I am giving this a shot. fingers crossed it works

I migrated from Grin++ to Grim wallet a while back. You can plug your seed from Grin++ into Grim and it carries everything over, even had my Tx history. Quite seamless and quick process. Grim is frequently updated, has active developer. Grim - cross-platform GUI for Grin - #101 by ardocrat
