Title: Is the ADDNODE command in bitcoin-qt 0.9.2.1 debug console known to be broken?
Post by: xyzzy099 on August 24, 2014, 03:16:30 PM
No matter what node I try to add with:

Code:
addnode node-addr add

it fails.  If I do a getaddednodeinfo command after, it always shows as not connected.  Am I doing something wrong, or is it just broke?

If I put "addnode=node-addr" in bitcoin.conf, that works fine.

AFAIK its only working if you do not have 8 outgoing connections yet. If one of those fails it should use the node you just added.
