Hello,

    I would like to further decentralize our bootstrapping process.

    The Datacoin Seeder utility crawls the network and runs a modified DNS server to give fresh active peer addresses to the Datacoin clients.

    I'd like a pair of them running on Mainnet and Testnet from various points around the planet.
    It would be super to have at least one of the sets in the datacoininfo.org namespace.
    The other pair does not need to be in any specific namespace.

    Outputs from Datacoin Seeder include a continuously updated plain text file which may be served up on a webpage.

    The seeder's main function is to respond to DNS queries and provide fresh IPv4/IPv6 addresses of our nodes.
    This improves connectivity for the new users joining our peer swarm as they'll be able to establish more connections very quickly.

    If you're interested in running an instance and already have some experience with Sipa's Bitcoin Seeder than this will be an easy task for you.
    Otherwise, we're more than happy to help facilitate any mentoring necessary to improve the Datacoin network backbone.

    After the new pair of crawlers / seeders are online we will update the Datacoin repository and publish new builds so they are found by clients on startup.

Best Regards,
-Chicago
