does it require an external port to listen on? i started the client but it doesn't seem very happy (i am behind a firewall with no way to open a port).

- maaku 14y agoIt listens on port 8639, but a firewall rule is not required (it does help). You should be able to connect to other clients that are port forwarding. There's a small chance that you might have connected to a bad peer and therefore have a limited view of the network. Try restarting the client if the block chain doesn't start downloading within 30 seconds.
- andrewcooke 14y agook, so i tried again and have the same result (still says "out of sync") and there's what looks like an error icon with a red x bottom right (this is the QT client). if you want i can file a bug report? if not, no problem (i was just curious, don't have any plans to use it, particularly since it doesn't contain a miner so i'd need to buy something just to play around).
- maaku 14y agoA bug report would be helpful if you include the debug.log file in your Freicoin data directory (~/.freicoin on UNIX, Library/Application Settings/Freicoin on Mac OS X, %APPDATA%\Freicoin on windows). There's a couple of faucets popping up where you can get some free starter coins: Here's one: http://endlessfreico.in http://endlessfreico.in
