I have to say, I'm a big fan of SocialSend. They have a great project that aims at making it easy to send payments through social media, as the name suggests. But as an amateur investor, I especially love that they have staking and masternodes. Always great to get passive income!
Wallet Issues - Fixed!
As I was setting up my wallet, I ran across 2 issues that I'd like to document here. Obviously if you haven't downloaded the Social Send wallet yet, do so now from https://socialsend.io/
No block source available
After I installed the Social Send wallet on my Mac and then later my Windows 10 PC, I got the "No block source available" error in the bottom-left of my wallet. After exhaustive Googling and not finding an answer, I installed Discord and posed my question to the SEND community. They were quick to come back with an answer.
- Download the Bootstrap from the Social Send website and then follow the instructions in the readme file included in that ZIP file.
- If you're still having issues syncing, add the nodes listed on their site. I'm listing them here but they may change later.
- If you're still having issues after this, restart the wallet and then try the Social Send Discord community.
If you get any issues on syncing, please add the nodes from debug console in your wallet. Go to TOOLS TAB, click on DEBUG CONSOLE, copy and paste each of the following nodes and hit enter, one node at a time.
addnode 80.209.239.227:50050 add
addnode 79.98.27.161:50050 add
addnode 80.208.227.189:50050 add
addnode 80.209.239.226:50050 add
addnode 54.202.103.5:50050 add
Staking is not active
After I deposited some coinage into my wallet, the status in the bottom right was showing red "Staking is not active". Easy fix here: just restart the wallet!
Also, after the wallet says that "Staking is active", be patient. It usually takes about a day and a half for the first staking rewards.
Again, if you have any further issues, install Discord and hit up the Social Send community. They have been phenomenal!
