Title: Question regarding Bitcoin Network Connections
Post by: VJain on January 20, 2013, 08:28:13 AM
Hi All,

Been following and reading up on BTC for about a year, but a question just hit my mind I never really considered. How are the Bitcoin Network Connections (let's say in the Satoshi Client) determined? Are there set notes hard-coded into the Client - via round robin dns or something of the like? A set of IP's?

If there's any additional readings I could do, I'd much appreciate it :).

Cheers!
VJ

Great thank you! An additional question - who's hosting the seed nodes?
