Install & Run SelfCoin Mainnet (quick)

git clone https://github.com/georgetoloraia/selfcoin-core.git
cd selfcoin-core
cmake -S . -B build
cmake --build build -j

how start:

./build/selfcoin-node --mainnet


Optional public node (to help others connect):

./build/selfcoin-node --mainnet --public

Open firewall port: `19440/tcp`.

Important
SelfCoin does **not** use miners/PoW. 
It uses validator finality. Your node can start alone, but blocks finalize only when enough validators are online (quorum).

If the initial validator set is 4, quorum is:
`floor(2*4/3)+1 = 3` signatures.

So: node starts immediately, but chain progress waits for quorum validators.

Than you for this info

Mainnet node runs but height stays at 0. Nodes cannot connect — getting invalid-frame and peer-banned errors. P2P handshake is broken. Nobody can earn rewards until this is fixed. Please push a fix.

Mainnet node runs but height stays at 0. Nodes cannot connect — getting invalid-frame and peer-banned errors. P2P handshake is broken. Nobody can earn rewards until this is fixed. Please push a fix.

I’ve pushed a networking fix that addresses the invalid-frame / peer-banned issues some of you were seeing on mainnet.

This was not a consensus problem — it was related to P2P framing diagnostics and overly aggressive banning when nodes were accidentally connecting to the wrong port (for example, dialing the lightserver HTTP port instead of the P2P port).

What was improved:

• Better frame diagnostics (clearly identifies HTTP / TLS / cross-network magic mismatch).
  Softer invalid-frame handling (no immediate hard ban on first bad frame).
  Clearer logs if you are dialing the wrong port (19444 instead of 19440).
  Seed preflight checks to avoid common misconfigurations.

Please update and rebuild:
git pull
cmake -S . -B build
cmake --build build -j4

than run:
./build/selfcoin-node --mainnet

If you still see issues, please paste one full frame-parse-fail log line (including the class=... field and endpoint). That line now contains enough information to diagnose the exact cause immediately.

Thanks for the reports — this helped harden the network layer properly.

Is this OK ?

Update: I pushed a networking-only fix that resolves the “invalid-frame / peer-banned” and “no peers” issues caused by AddrMan learning wrong ports (ephemeral inbound ports) and unroutable addresses.

Please pull latest selfcoin-core and rebuild:

  git pull
  cmake -S . -B build
  cmake --build build -j
  ./build/selfcoin-node --mainnet --public

Important: if you ran earlier builds, your addrman may be polluted with bad peers.
To reset it, stop the node and remove this file:

  rm -f ~/.selfcoin/mainnet/addrman.dat

Then start again:

  ./build/selfcoin-node --mainnet

If you still see height=0 but peers>0, that can be normal: mainnet finalization requires validator quorum online (3-of-4). The node will log WAITING_FOR_QUORUM until enough validators are connected.

The seed node need to propagate other peers I also have 1 peer only but if there are seed the person above your post and  me there should be 2 peers on each side and there is only one main peer.
