Fork of SIPA bitcoin-seeder not listening on IPv4

[mrankin]

I have forked a copy of SIPA's bitcoin-seeder and it was initially working fine. I've just tested again today and can see that it's not responding at all. Further investigation shows that my two DNS seeders are listening on IPv6 only, however the servers don't have an IPv6 address at all.

Does anyone know how to make SIPA's bitcoin-seeder listen on IPv4 only?

My fork is at https://github.com/CRDS/credits-seeder

I'm running the seeder using screen -dm -t "dnsseed" bash -c 'cd credits-seeder/; ./dnsseed -h dnsseed1.crds.co -n 8.8.8.8 -m my.email.address'

All assistance is greatly appreciated.

Code:

netstat -nlp |grep 53
udp6       0      0 :::53                   :::*                                2725/./dnsseed

I'm not certain that the binding will show up at all. I did manage to get one of my seeders working this morning but cannot get them working again.

Code:

Starting 96 crawler threads...done
[17-10-24 19:40:49] 0/3 available (3 tried in 670s, 0 new, 0 active), 0 banned; 0 DNS requests, 0 db queries

Assistance still requested. I'm offering 200 CRDS to the person that helps me resolve this issue.

I found the fix, check the Credits discord channel.


for others: the seeder source required some mainnet-seed address changes.
