I’m currently running the latest binary from GitHub and still can’t maintain a stable connection. This is not coming from a mining pool—it’s from a wallet running on a home computer. The node connects, disconnects repeatedly, and eventually stays disconnected.
This behavior can lead to network instability, as users may end up mining on isolated nodes without realizing it. In practice, this can result in unintended forks forming on the network. From my perspective, the main issue seems to be that the official node is having difficulty maintaining stable, long-lived peer connections, and this likely needs attention.
I also wanted to clarify something mentioned earlier. In your previous message, you stated that there is no premine and that the launch is fair. However, according to the current source code, there appears to be a premine of 21 million coins, as shown here:
https://github.com/sipherapex/AURE-Core/blob/main/src/validation.cpp#L1268-L1270And explorer here we can see the premined coins:

This seems to contradict the fair-launch claim, so some clarification on this point would really help avoid confusion.
Additionally, it looks like restrictive firewall rules may be in place—possibly to discourage pool mining—and Tor traffic also appears to be blocked. While I understand the intention behind trying to protect the network, these kinds of restrictions can work against how blockchains normally function. Limiting connectivity tends to introduce centralization and can unintentionally weaken the network rather than protect it.
Allowing open connectivity and decentralized mining would likely help the chain stabilize and grow organically. Otherwise, if participation drops due to connectivity issues or mining restrictions, the network risks losing momentum over time.
I’m not trying to be negative or critical here—just sharing observations based on my own experience and what I’ve seen happen with other projects over the years. I could be mistaken, of course, but I genuinely hope this feedback is helpful.
