Title: Some active nodes please?
Post by: NotAPonzi on January 10, 2015, 03:41:56 PM

I am trying to get my bitcoind to download all blocks but it freezes up a lot or it's taking forever, anyone got a good list of some active nodes I can add to bitcoin.conf?

Thanks

If you want to you can download the whole blockchain through torrent(I don't have a link for that) or you can download the whole blockchain from here http://dumps.webbtc.com/bitcoin/ (http://dumps.webbtc.com/bitcoin/) but if you like to connect to nodes here a list of them https://getaddr.bitnodes.io/ (https://getaddr.bitnodes.io/) and here https://blockchain.info/ip-log (https://blockchain.info/ip-log)

Thank you, when I add them to bitcoin.conf do I need to add the 8333 port at the end of them?

fresh download of blockchain takes a long time. Even if you grab the torrent the client takes a while to index it all.
Some pc's are faster at this than others. Regardless it's several hours at the minimum.

If you're using <0.10.0rc1 (latest as of this writing), your daemon downloads the chain from only one node. If it happens to pick a slow one you're going to download it slowly. Increasing the number of connections doesn't improve this.

Try 0.10.0rc1, which grabs the headers first and then downloads the blocks from several peers in parallel. It's WAY faster.

#1 This ^. If you can use 0.10.0rc1
#2 If you must use an older version:
#2.1 use the torrent[1][2]
#2.2 after(!) you used the torrent, connect to a single fast peer. Take one from the list below. If any of the IPs are not working, let me know. To connect to a single node use the connect=IP command, e.g. (Windows):

Code:

c:\Program Files\Bitcoin\bitcoin-qt.exe -connect=10.10.11.11

List of nodes:
