Running the wallet in forging mode several days.
There are only ever 4 lasting connections (other ones show up transiently for a few seconds and go away).
For example (from File-Debug-Peers)

Code:

106.187.42.214 271687
188.166.16.64 271690
128.199.45.81 271706
5.230.145.31 271705

The number after the IP above is "height". The heights are all widely different!! And they generally stay different, all counting up or jumping ahead to catch each other, but never in unison. I've *never* seen them all the same height!

Why, what's going on? Is this right, or just a debug display issue? It seems worrisome, and maybe indicates why there are syncing/forking problems. If all of these nodes were actively forging, seems they'd all be chaining up different blocks.

Also, why only 4 peers? I thought there were more other nodes active by now? Anyone have active node IPs not shown in that list?

I get up to 10 peers fade in and out. They try

to connect but dont.

Here are a few other IPs that try to connect:

60.29.233.154
60.172.227.64

Interesting, our Peer lists match, but we're not seeing each other, and probably noone else is either. Yes, I get lots of others showing up and immediately dropping off too, just like that.

Why is it not connecting to more?

Do we need to open a router port, or other configuration steps... ?
Maybe there are speed/latency assumptions in the code?
I'm on DSL, and then wifi, in case that's relevant.

It seems many nodes that might have been trying to forge/sustain the network for a long time, were maybe not really connected, just like this. (that would explain a good bit)

Thanks,
I have no idea and hope this info is helping.
I am on Cable then to a wifi router and VPN.
