Looking for the answer.   
 What is the "listen=" command in the Magi config?  When set to "listen=o" I have 2 may 3 active connections to the Magi network in my wallet.  When changed to "listen=1", I have 10-13 active connections.  I saw it mentioned her to have it set to 0.  What is the correct answer, what does the command do?  Thanks in advance

listen=  is used to allow or restrict which other nodes in the network your wallet can connect to.

With "listen=0" you will only connect and listen to any node specified in your magi.conf file

At the moment most people have "listen=0" and only a single "connect" entry of "connect=104.128.225.215"
This address is the "master" node (master in this case being Joe's the Developers node) their wallets will only send/receive block information from that single node.

The problems this past 10 days or so was due to a split in the blockchain and so having a single node for everyone to connect to helped get everyone back on the correct chain.
