Re: IOTA

The nodes outside of the lan don't have to connect to you, if you want run a local node/wallet. They only have to know your public ip in order to "allow" your access.
But the nodes you are connecting to have to be public, of course...

Edit: if you want to make your computer public available you have to configure your routers routing tables.

i wonder if advertisement of other projects is not trolling....

If we implemented an optional "isPublicNode" parameter in the configuration, as I already suggested multiple times, everyone can decide for its own, not to stay "hidden" any more.
And this dubious talk would have been not even possible...

you may be right, you may be wrong, but it is honest of you to give your opinion. but those other two are not honest at all, they are shamelessly trying to make propaganda of their project (as if it would make any difference anyway, because the stupid people who will fall for their "dubious talk" are not at all needed for this project, and will do us a favour if they simply move to the "perfect auto-peer-discovery project" being hyped by these trolls)
