A question to all BTC2 Wallet users.
How many peers did you have maximum?
At the time my maximum 5 peers
I see 2 outgoing and 0 incoming connections. I think it all depends on the provider, because I tried to turn on the wallet on another computer and tried to connect through 4G. Maybe the matter is that I'm in Russia and now the IP addresses are blocking the regulator to fight Telegram. The regulator has already blocked many addresses of Amazon, Google and other services.
I have a question for the team, can I install a wallet on the Amazon cloud? Will it work?
Yes you can. And they offer a free 12 month trial tier. There is even a guide specific to AWS at
https://www.bitc2.org/bitcoin-2-masternode-guideJust ignore the section titled "How to setup the Bitcoin 2 Masternode" if you want to just stake with it.
I have the exactly same problem. I got only 2 outgoing and 0 incoming connections recently. I can't get stake with it (most of them are orphans blocks).
Can I add some nodes manually? Does it help?
You see only 2 peers because your router or firewall blocks incoming connections, as does that of most others. You should see more than 20 if not.
Most home routers have NAT that by default blocks incoming connections initiated by someone else than you. You can usually fix that and start allowing incoming connections with one of two ways:
A) Launch Bitcoin 2 Core, go to Settings - Options. Go to Network. Enable: "Map port using UPnP". Then restart the app. You may also want to read this article:
