So i got my first dpor of the month yesterday YAY!!! but then my pc needed a restart for updates,
I was like I just staked so my wallet really doesnt need to be open right now
After the restart and installation of the updates THIS HAPPENED

NNNOOOOO!!!!! i tried repairing the wallet.....nope, reinstalling......nope.
So i looked online and found that post at the very top and went to my config file.

Nothing there, that is not how its supposed to be.
Luckily i made a backup of my config file.

And thats what its supposed to look like [minus the art, thats classified info lol]

In case you forgot to save the config but have the wallet.dat file, type this
Its just the basics but should work

[email protected]
addnode=node.gridcoin.us

and it should link back up to your BOINC and get all the info you need

AND Voila!!! it works, dont really know how the config file became empty but at least it was and easy fix and hopefully if someone else has this problem this post will help

Moral of the story as well, BACK UP, BACK UP and BACK UP your existing wallet.dat and config file!!!

Have a great day and keep crunching!

P.S Joke of the day
What is Gridcoins favorite cereal?
