Title: getaddr.bitnodes.io nodes keep connecting to my AltCoin
Post by: voileipa on December 30, 2013, 10:40:08 AM
I forked/created my own AltCoin from BitCoin with new Merklehash' and GenesisBlock.
After that I set up my own AltCoin network of ~5 clients (they work fine) but the getaddr.bitnodes.io keeps connecting to my network altough I'm NOT a BitCoin network.

Isn't this a waste of everyones resources or did I left something out when creating my own AltCoin?

You forgot to change the DNS seed setting.

You forgot to change the DNS seed setting.

There was a phase in my AltCoin-generation-steps where i left DNS seed unchanged resulting the situation that clients all over the world tried to contact me.

Removing the DNS seed removed this problem but the getaddr.bitnodes.io nodes still keep connecting.

Just have to shutdown & wait it out. You already registered your ip to the bitcoin DNS seed.

Is the crawler still trying to connect to your node? If so, please let me know the current IP address for your altcoin node so I can check on the crawler side as well.

The getaddr.bitnodes.io did eventually disconnect from my network but now there is a new external connection called "bitcoin-seeder" in my network.
