Wallet 1.3.1_qtfix2 & 3.0.0 not working for me:
Yeah, hardcoded seednodes are outdated. This is being worked on. For now you can just add the following to your yenten.conf:
addnode=193.70.33.8
addnode=185.185.69.156
addnode=153.121.74.170
addnode=116.91.89.16
addnode=213.168.40.114
addnode=91.69.247.135
addnode=119.245.50.48
addnode=114.163.222.47
Having said that
2018-11-26 22:01:10 ERROR: GetMyExternalIP() : connection to 216.146.38.70:80 failed
looks like there is a problem with your internet connection. That connection really should not fail. Can you reach
http://216.146.38.70:80/ using your browser?
Tested in V3.0.0
I created a yenten.conf file with the addnodes but it is not working, I also set addnode to qt.conf but I get same error loading nodes.
I can reach 216... with browser & it returns my IP address.
I fixed it, problem is in peers.dat
I replaced actual peers.dat with old one from v2 & now it is working, also I get my IP from 216....
Strange. I thought the addnodes should take care of the missing peers. Maybe i should have added port numbers to the IPs? Sorry, didn't really test it. Glad you still got it to work. In any case this is going to be investigated.
Edit: Out of curiousity, where did you create the yenten.conf file? In the directory also containing peers.dat? If not that might be the reason why it was ignored.
I created yenten.conf in the main directory where I have yenten-qt, peers.dat, etc.
I think the program does not read file yenten.conf.
Run "C:\yenten\yenten-qt.exe -datadir=C:\yenten\data"
save yenten.conf in folder C:\yenten\data
copy wallet.dat inf folder C:\yenten\data
default datadir is: %APPDATA%\yenten
Go to Start -> Run (or press WinKey+R) and run this:
%APPDATA%\yenten
Yenten data folder will open. For most users, this is the following locations:
C:\Documents and Settings\YourUserName\Application data\Yenten (XP)
C:\Users\YourUserName\Appdata\Roaming\Yenten (Vista and 7)
"AppData" and "Application data" are hidden by default.
You can also store Yenten data files in any other drive or folder.
If you have already downloaded the data then you will have to move the data to the new folder. If you want to store them in C:\yenten\data then click on "Properties" of a shortcut to yenten-qt.exe and add -datadir=C:\yenten\data at the end as an example:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Bitcoin\yenten-qt.exe" -datadir=C:\yenten\data
Thank your for your info.
I don't use \Data, everything is in c:\yenten so appdata\roaming\yenten does not exist.
This way I have everything in the same place.
My folder c:\yenten have Blocks, Chainstate & Plugins subfolders & the rest is in c:\yenten
As I said before, replacing peers.dat by the old one worked fine, so I don't see why I must use \Data & move files there.
