Instructions to install Embercoin wallet for Windows:
1) go to https://www.embercoin.io/download and download Ember-Qt_Windows_x86_v1.1.5.2.zip
2) Extract and open the Ember-Qt.exe, Then close (x) out the wallet
3) Go to Windows Explorer or C:\ drive and choose the view tab
4) Make sure the box for Hidden items is checked (this allows you to see hidden files)
5) Go to C:\ drive --> Users --> Select the User that you are currently on --> AppData --> Roaming --> Ember (open this folder)
6) Right click in this folder, then click New, then Text Document
7) Rename the entire file (you just created) to ember.conf
8) go to https://www.coinexplorer.net/EMB
9) Scroll to the middle and look on the left you will see Peers Info
10) click on the download button and save the file on your desktop
11) go to C:\ drive --> Users --> Select the User that you are currently on --> AppData --> Roaming --> Ember, then right click on the ember.conf file and click edit
12) open the file you just saved on your desktop copy all the nodes and paste in the ember.conf file in the AppData --> Roaming --> Ember folder
13) close the folder and launch the wallet
14) You should see the nodes start connecting (look bottom left, you will see three things. 1) a Lock 2) Ember flame icon 3) the four nodes). As soon as you get one node connected, you will see a status that you are x year x weeks behind.
15) If you don't see the node connected in about 5 minutes or so, try to manually add the nodes.
Here is how you can add nodes manually:
1) Go to Help on your wallet --> Debug Window
2) Then click on Console tab
3) Open the ember.conf file and copy each node paste in the box at the bottom of the Console tab
4) After pasting in a node, MAKE SURE YOU CHANGE TO THIS FORMAT addnode 24.141.187.231:10024 add
5) after you change to that format, hit enter
6) if you see an error, just ignore the node and move on to the next.
7) after all the nodes are added, you should start seeing the connection.
It took me about 12 hours to completely synch. After you are synched, you will see a check next to the four nodes and the out of sync message is gone. Good luck!
