Title: Connecting to specfic Nodes
Post by: starsoccer9 on December 27, 2013, 03:11:34 PM
Hello, I wanted to know if its possible to manually connect to a specfic node or 2. So that all my transactions and all other transactions can be relayed between that node.

Is there anyway to do this?

My main goal is just being able to relay my transactions to the biggers nodes

Code:
-connect=<ip>          Connect only to the specified node(s)

How do you specify a list?

I would just do multiple ips you can add connect to your conf file so you don't have to use the flag every time you want to start up bitcoind/qt.

Code:
connect=127.0.0.1
connect=74.125.0.0



OK thanks for the explanation.
