Also, I cannot Announce my storage. I get the error message:
"Error 400 Bad request host address not reachable; ensure you have forwarded port 9982"
I have forwarded port 9982 on my router. Still doesn't work.
I think you have to forward 9981 as well
I forgot to save the setting on the router... Seems 9982 was sufficient. I'll leave it at that unless others can confirm port 9981 needs to be forwarded as well.
Now, my IP also appears in the Hosts lists on the Sia Explorer page. Cool!
I noticed a myqnapcloud.com hostname in the list as well. Is anyone here running Sia on a QNAP NAS? I have one sitting with lots of space to spare and would like to run that as a host as well, if possible...
By the way: Can I change the default port from 9982 to something else, in case I want to run multiple hosts in a network with a shared IP?
Blockchain synchronization, however, is still extremely slow! I'm still just at block height 2033, after nearly 15 hours... Can anyone share a bootstrap chain?
