Title: Bitcoin won't connect? Post by: AgoristTeen2 on May 30, 2011, 01:36:24 AM Hey everyone, I'm using Bitcoin for Linux, in Ubuntu, and when I open up the GUI client, it says there are no connections. I recently received 0,02 bitcoins from a bitcoin faucet, but I haven't got them yet....my bitcoin software is stuck at 107027 blocks, , and it won't generate any more blocks, or anything. I'd really appreciate any help you could give. Thanks and have a nice day.

Title: Re: Bitcoin won't connect? Post by: mewantsbitcoins on May 30, 2011, 03:19:00 AM You must have missed the "=" or added a space after -addnode=
Close the client and try again Code: bitcoin -addnode=69.164.218.197 -addnode=64.22.103.150 -addnode=173.242.112.53 -addnode=178.79.147.99 -addnode=184.106.111.41 -addnode=91.85.220.84 -addnode=173.224.125.222 -addnode=86.5.50.90 -addnode=178.255.199.86 Title: Re: Bitcoin won't connect?

Post by: kefir on June 02, 2011, 05:46:17 PM This worked for me in a similar situation now, but I couldn't see any pointer to an updated list of IP addresses to use with the --addnode command. I found this list, and guess it would be the right list to use:
