I'm experiencing the same issue. Exactly the same. Using Light Wallet on Windows 10.

How might i change the node??

I changed the node and still cant proceed.

If you’re at work, sometimes your work will block certain ports. You can try nodes that end in 443 or 80. Check http://iota.dance/nodes

Hi I am using an android wallet I have not been able to open my wallet over the last few days. I have tried using the nodes from iotasalad.org but still not able to open my wallet, any suggestions please?

Node protocol https
Node ip potato.iotasalad.org
Node port 14265

[sipetpet]

It says network error, could not connect to the remote node

[sipetpet]

Hi Wonkytonky
Any difference as I am on android wallet. Are you using the Desktop version? You tried every single node on the potato.iotasalad.org?
These were my wallet settings
Node protocol https
Node ip potato.iotasalad.org
Node port 14265

Hi wonkytonky, can you point me to a good place to install from github?
I find github a bit intimidating, I use the xx.exe file?
It works on Win 7?

[sipetpet]

Please do bear with me, is there anywhere that shows how to install from github. I am not that tech savvy so sorry

Try searching for a video on YouTube. Lots of crypto vloggers out there now, making videos that walk you through different wallet set ups. Get Outlook for Android<https://aka.ms/ghei36>

Hi everyone
Can advise me on the pc/laptop specs required to properly support the iota desktop wallet?
Does windows 10 home edition work or I need Windows 10 Professional?
Any other requirements? What are you all using?
