However, the GanjaCoin wallet says it is syncronizing with the network... is this supposed to occur? Thanks and sorry for my tech illiteracy.

Ok are you running windows 10? to make things easier you can join our slack channel so we can chat faster the auto invite is

Yes I am running Windows 10. If it says syncronizing with the network does that mean that it is working correctly?

depends if you setup the ganjacoin.conf file with

rpcuser=rpc_user
rpcpassword=password
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcport=10480
listen=1
server=1
addnode=169.54.3.62

How do I do this?

I asked same question on the slack chat as well.

i sent you a reply
