We are experiencing extended downtime with seed nodes again. If you experience initial connection issues with client try add the following nodes to connect to ppcoin network (in ppcoin.conf):
addnode=66.90.146.146
addnode=91.156.102.128
addnode=110.174.124.20
addnode=67.14.164.114
addnode=37.209.40.22
addnode=50.71.216.165
addnode=109.108.236.208
addnode=173.28.37.150
addnode=68.102.86.156
addnode=213.251.187.24
addnode=188.134.122.31
addnode=72.38.179.122
addnode=76.74.177.224
We are once again having extended downtime with the seed nodes. Repo was updated with Robert’s seeds some time back, but v0.3.0 release doesn’t include it so there could be initial connection issues.
We will also be testing alternative hosting providers to improve the availability of seed nodes. The availability of seed nodes should improve with v0.4 release as we start running seed nodes on two different hosting providers, as well as Robert’s seed node. For now please include the above addnodes and see if it works.
When is the v0.4 release coming?
New to Peercoin and can’t connect to any nodes or sync to the blockchain using v0.3.0ppc-beta even with the addnodes listed above. UPNP is selected, as is SOCKS4 proxy using port 9050.
Just wondering, should I set my router to specifically open port 9050?
This software is going to be much more “Plug N Play” if the wider public is ever going to use it.
Unless you are behind a SOCKS4 proxy that shouldn’t be set. The default settings should work for the majority of users unless you are behind a firewall or some other different network configuration
Thanks, got it working.
Turned SOCKS4 off
UPNP is on
Forwarded port 9050 in my router
And I added the addnodes that Sunny posted above to the ppcoin.conf file that I created
Now I can get my PPC’s from Crypto-Trade
