Your data folder depends on your platform and/or settings. Defaults are:
- Windows:
%appdata%/SHIELD - Mac:
~/Library/Application Support/SHIELD - Linux:
~/.SHIELD
This is always SHIELD.conf in your Data-folder if it doesn't exist you are free to make one
(just make sure it's not SHIELD.conf.txt)
Add the contents of https://blockstats.pw/shield/addnode/ to Config-file in your Data-folder and restart the wallet
Bootstrapping is a way to load the majority of blockchain without having to sync via nodes,
You can get bootstraps from https://github.com/ShieldCoin/SHIELD/releases/tag/blockchain
You install them by extracting them to your Data-folder (having a clean datadir might help)
There is a small possibility that your wallet/node stops syncing at some point, this can be either because of the version of your wallet or that you are on the wrong chain
To resolve this:
- Update to the latest wallet
- Delete everything in Config-file except wallet.dat and SHIELD.conf
- Restart the new wallet
Add rescan=1 to your Config-file in Data-folder, then restart the wallet it might take longer to load
Now you should see the wallet balance correctly (You can remove rescan=1 from Config-file if wanted)
If you want to find something out by yourself your best bet is checking the Data-folder for debug.log and seeing what the most recent events were, if you have worked with other coins before this might resolve the situation faster
follow instructions for manual terminal commands, install TOR via Homebrew read TOR website: https://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-doc-osx.html.en
Start TOR, type: brew services start tor > Switch off Stealth mode in Firewall settings during installation
Create a text file and save under shield.config in SHIELD app folder. Open in Data-folder Copy in TOR nodes into Config-file file read: https://github.com/ShieldCoin/SHIELD/wiki/Using-Tor-qt-nodes
the last step makes sure your settings in QT Wallet are correct under network tab > IP field type: LOCALHOST will give local IP address, Port 9050, SOCKSVersion: 5.
Not only your #SHIELDWallet is 100% anonymous, your Mac is now 100% TOR stealth!
