Title: how to test my (litecoin) node?
Post by: ekiro on April 03, 2024, 05:10:43 PM
is there something like https://bitnodes.io/ that has a method to test if my node is available to the public?

how would i perform this test through a shell command? that would be a better option.

I have a litecoin node i'd like to test to make sure is accessible publicly. i also want to test my dogecoin and monero node

good questions but you need to try the alt coin section not here.

I can't find any other options to check your LTC nodes if it's public and I can't also find a site the same as bitnodes.io.

However, I searched a bit and it seems you can use it to find and check if your LTC nodes are in public use the link below make sure to check your current IP and use the browser search and paste your IP if you found your IP then it's public.

https://bitnodes.io does not show all bitcoin full nodes, but rather nodes that accept incoming connections from port between 1024 and 65535, and Litecoin has a similar analysis

or

  • For dogecoin node https://blockchair.com/en/dogecoin/nodes
  • For monero node  https://monerohash.com/nodes-distribution.html

As for unknown altcoin or general answer you can check Port Forwarding using canyouseeme.org just open port 18080 or 18081

You don't need to add the port you just need to find your current IP not your local IP but your network IP you can check it by going to google and then search "whatsmyip" and then click any that can check your network IP copy it and go to the link I provided above use the browser find or CTRL+F then paste the IP if there is no result then your node is currently not in public yet.
