I have a question about my active connections, a few week ago my active connections was over 20 and now i only have 9 active connection to the network. Why my active connections go down when i leave my wallet open 24/7 and not shut down my computer? do i need to do anything to get my connections back up?
Check your router for port forwarding.
And if you are using Bitcoin.conf to list the nodes for connections update it using the actual node list from
https://chainz.cryptoid.info/bitb/#!networkThank you for the help but i not know how to do this port forwarding with my router. What i must do to set this up and get more connections to the bitbean network because i not have a .conf file in my bitbean app data roaming file. i thought we not need this .conf file any more with bitbean?
, but, generally, if you log into your routers interface, you should find a section about 'forwarding' (some routers list it under 'gaming' or 'ports').
- Enter 22460 in the section(s) (some routers have 2 places to enter this number for internal (local network) and external (internet) ports) for which port to open.
- Set TCP for the type of port ('BOTH' or 'ALL' will work as well but not necessary).
- Save and close...
That's it!
You are correct the .conf file is no longer needed, because of the DNS seeder nodes. However, a few 'addnode=' statements in a .conf file
may speed up locating
initial connections. I am still studying this, so I am not saying conclusively that it helps, but it seems to in some situations.
