I'd be surprised if it's an issue of nodes, as all ways to start the Verus chain that have been released include nodes that have been working since the one time in the first few days when they were blocked. Please pop over to our discord and ask in the "community-support" channel. For people to help you, it will be best if you explain in detail what you are trying to run, the command line, how you got it, and what you are seeing. There are a LOT of community members who usually help very quickly.
