Title: Re: How connected are you? Post by: Graet on June 27, 2012, 04:01:10 PM of the 3 I checked one has 2 the another has 80 another 86
Title: Re: How connected are you? Post by: Mousepotato on June 27, 2012, 04:07:25 PM 8, but I don't forward any ports. LIKE A BAUCE.
Title: Re: How connected are you? Post by: Kupsi on June 27, 2012, 04:07:51 PM 53 connections here.
PS: If you want more than 8 connections you have to use UPnP or configure port forwarding (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=64009.0). Title: Re: How connected are you? Post by: mb300sd on June 27, 2012, 04:21:59 PM 102 and 93
Title: Re: How connected are you? Post by: hazek on June 27, 2012, 04:30:14 PM 26 now however I did start with just 8 like 45min ago when I upgraded to the latest version today.
Title: Re: How connected are you? Post by: EnergyVampire on June 27, 2012, 04:36:07 PM 95 but I only connect for a couple of days a week.
Title: Re: How connected are you? Post by: yadndn on June 27, 2012, 05:29:44 PM always 8 connecting....
why ? Title: Re: How connected are you? Post by: mc_lovin on June 27, 2012, 05:53:40 PM advantage of having more connections is?
Title: Re: How connected are you? Post by: BookLover on June 27, 2012, 06:48:19 PM >50 without port forwarding. ( :D I use lots of addnode commands from http://blockchain.info/connected-nodes :D) With more connections your transactions are spread throughout the network faster, and you get the latest transactions and blocks sooner. So it really isn't necessary unless you are mining, but it's still nice for the average user.
Title: Re: How connected are you? Post by: Bitco on June 27, 2012, 09:26:53 PM Around 40-50 usually. I lose them if I have to restart, then they slowly come back over the next 24 hours or so.

( :D I use lots of addnode commands from http://blockchain.info/connected-nodes :D) That's bad. You're using connections that other users could be using. How about opening up a port instead. That way you help improve the network rather than harming it. Title: Re: How connected are you? Post by: Vladimir on June 27, 2012, 11:38:02 PM I had 800 back when we were playing into block races in our MMC pool.
Title: Re: How connected are you? Post by: RodeoX on June 27, 2012, 11:39:49 PM 8 is likely the max you will get without doing some tweaking.

I am running through Tor and can't use port forwarding without losing anonymity. :-\ I realized >50 was quite a lot and purposely lowered it before you posted. ;) I've more than done, and continue to do, my share in improving the Bitcoin economy and network. 8)Title: Re: How connected are you?

Have better things to do than seeing my balance emptied by some bugs. Title: Re: How connected are you? Post by: wabber on June 28, 2012, 06:42:45 PM 8 here not forwarding ANYTHING. Have better things to do than seeing my balance emptied by some bugs. And you think it's easier to exploit that bug when ppl are connecting to you instead of you connecting to them? Must be a really special bug Title: Re: How connected are you?
