Hey everyone, I'm using Bitcoin for Linux, in Ubuntu, and when I open up the GUI client, it says there are no connections. I recently received 0,02 bitcoins from a bitcoin faucet, but I haven't got them yet....my bitcoin software is stuck at 107027 blocks, , and it won't generate any more blocks, or anything. I'd really appreciate any help you could give. Thanks and have a nice day.

According to NIST and ECRYPT II, the cryptographic algorithms used in Bitcoin are expected to be strong until at least 2030. (After that, it will not be too difficult to transition to different algorithms.)

You must have missed the "=" or added a space after -addnode=
Close the client and try again
Code:
bitcoin -addnode=69.164.218.197 -addnode=64.22.103.150 -addnode=173.242.112.53 -addnode=178.79.147.99 -addnode=184.106.111.41 -addnode=91.85.220.84 -addnode=173.224.125.222 -addnode=86.5.50.90 -addnode=178.255.199.86

This worked for me in a similar situation now, but I couldn't see any pointer to an updated list of IP addresses to use with the --addnode command. I found this list, and guess it would be the right list to use:
