Title: Question regarding -connect
Post by: SwiftHF on June 18, 2013, 05:50:04 PM
Hi,

I've been working on an altcoin (FOR private use, before you people complain) and I've got it set up, but to start it up I need to connect 2 clients together and mine on one.

I've found that it's sort of a paradox in the sense that I run -connect to "node1", but it won't connect because the "node2" is not online, and to get "node2" online I have to connect it to node1", right? I have been told that they will keep refreshing every 30 seconds, and as such will work, but when I load it they seem to just say "Unable to connect to server" or along those lines and then the daemon shuts down. Any ideas on how to connect the two with -connect?
