Thanks for the answers on having your wallet open guys that helps a lot.
Woud it benefit the network were I to start a seed node?
Thanks
Not a problem
We run the seed nodes ourselves due to the set up required and the need to monitor them for performance or failure due to their critical nature but you could set yourself up as a full node using your current client or wait until the new one comes online.I will ask mammix2 and see what he says.
Thanks
If you are running on the default Tor configuration, you would need 1 of the pre-determined onion addresses and host keys put in place.
These are the list of onion addresses already in the code
// hidden service seeds
static const char *strMainNetOnionSeed[][1] = {
{"vqr4nghlcpdipdpj.onion"},
{"yvjofqv4wox4ywwm.onion"},
{"dtc6mm23aexkkjtl.onion"},
{"7xcm543jtkje4mkv.onion"},
{"r2bqmq2uun4ojk45.onion"},
{"jo43ypvfj6me63ph.onion"},
{"7bzf57aacrsmvokz.onion"},
{"adkzksf6pfevieus.onion"},
{NULL}
};
I think 3 of them have already been used by us on the 4 seed nodes we already run.The rest of the host files and keys here ready for more usage.Tor handles all the routing, even behind a non static IP address.
