If you get new blocks you are connected and are a part of the network afaik the nodes-distribution.html is parsed from only one or few nodes... so it can only parse what it see's, and usually this is a loose network aka not every node is connected with each other so it can happen that you are connected to many different nodes... just not those parsing this map on the other hand we could assume that we got way more then those 702 nodes shown atm

How can I tell if it is actually part of the network, if I am helping Monero with my node, or just wasting energy and bandwidth?
In the Daemon, enter the command 'status'. When you have 8+ 0 connections, you are not supporting the network. If you get new blocks you are connected and are a part of the network Yes then you are connected, but your node is not supporting the network ( you need to open port 18080 and 18081). EDIT1: port 18081 is used for RPC, thanks jwintern. EDIT2: print_cn is a nice command as well to verify whether your node is not only downloading.

I don't think you need or want to open both ports, just the p2p port - 18080.

No matter your PC runs Windows or Linux from your home's internet connection, you need to open port 18080 in your Router and point them to the PC running the Monero (or Bitcoin) node.

Elaborating on technical nuances such as this one would encourage interested non-tech savvy folks to participate in community activities instead of being discouraged due to "technicalities". Just forward them from your router as was previously shown and make a firewall exception and/or any port blocking software you use. The ports are always open and listening by default. It's awesome being a security engineer with everything designed with security as an after thought and patched in later.

Connect to your router using your web browser, log in, open port 18080, then setup port forwarding for 18080 to the computer running the node. Windows probably already asked you if you wanted to make an exception for the firewall the first time you ran monerod, and you probably clicked yes, so you should be all set there.

Here's a vid (not mine) on how to forward a port: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQXJ7sLSz14When he's around minute 3:30 showing the internal and external ports, just put 18080 in both of those fields, and for the Protocol, select "TCP". The name field doesn't matter but naming it "XMR" or "Monero" would be descriptive. The "To IP Address" should be the IP address of your Monero computer, and you can find your IP address as described in the video.

In the Daemon, enter the command 'status'. When you have 8+ 0 connections, you are not supporting the network. No. As long as you're connected to at least 2 other nodes you're supporting the network. It doesn't matter whether the connections are incoming or outgoing.

If I say that you are not a full node when not uploading, would that statement be correct?

Am I crazy, cuz I have never had to do any of that - My router has UPNP turned on, so it just works. from monerod.exe window: status Height: 1232508/1232508 (100.0%) on mainnet, not mining, net hash 52.65 MH/s, v4, up to date, 11+21 connectionsOn my router in UPNP settings I see: UPnP Portmap Table Active Protocol Int. Port Ext. Port IP Address Yes TCP 18080 18080 192.168.0.22 ^^^ That's my PC running monerod.exe

That's most likely a problem on ShapeShift's end. If you are exchanging XMR for BTC I'd advise to use XMR.to. Note that, if I recall correctly, Shapeshift has stated that they now recognize unconfirmed transactions too, but looking at your issue apparently they don't yet. Regarding your other issue, see: https://github.com/monero-project/monero/issues/1630As for that other issue, it seems pretty serious. Am I understanding git correctly that this issue has been found and fixed but not pushed out in a new release yet? For the two txs of mine that were stuck last night when I posted this, it took HOURS to get confirmed into a block and the unconfirmed pool was up to around 75 txs, also for hours, until it eventually worked itself out. A fix has been proposed here: https://github.com/monero-project/monero/pull/1631It has yet to be merged.

Thinking about getting a Cryptosteel (anyone experience using it?). When you backup your seed, there is only space for the first four letters per word. Is the below quoted text applicable to Monero as well? you only need to assemble the first 4 letters of each word. Those 4 letters are unique and sufficient to recover the sentence and the entire bitcoin wallet. We did a frequency analysis and determined the minimum set of letters that are needed [is four]
