To any who encounter errors connecting:

It will be back. Sometimes I dont catch it quickly, but this is due to my servers being "embargoed". My IPs are blocked from the main seed nodes and I have to rely on proxies and network peers to maintain a connection. You can thank Blakecoin's dev for that. Anyways, I'm doing all I can to keep nodes connected, since whenever one coin loses network all coins except blakecoin stop mining. So if you have resources, feel free to host seeds nodes (especially for BlakeBitcoin) and encourage others to do so.
