Re: Devtome Bounty -> Node

Hello!
I mounted a DVC node in a VPS with the address:

http://95.85.36.199

I also installed Wordpress to have a nice cms and I put the live stats of the node in the widget area (looks cool!)

I saw in Devtome at the bounty page (http://www.devtome.com/doku.php?id=devcoin_bounty_now) they want more nodes and I'm willing to help.

My question is if I did the setup correctly to be considered? or I need to do something more?

Contact Markm, he'll tell you what is needed and add you to his node list. Until I hear otherwise, I'll assume that your node is working correctly and give you 2/5 of a share as long as it's working. Web wallets can not account for generation devcoins, is your address 1DJb19DHi23yaWXfbGP8fKCxMSizyAiN7X from your computer?



In a private message you wrote "The URL is: http://95.85.36.199:6333"

That is not the normal/correct port for devcoin, so is not going to work as a seed node I am pretty sure.

I am rpetty sure the seed nodes work - or at least used to work - by assuming the hostname or IP address hard-coded into the code will have a daemon running at the normal standard port. So the seeds list lists only the IP addresses or hostnames I think.

-MarkM-

EDIT: It occurs to me too that this might cause people who try to use non-standard ports to have trouble finding connections, since it seems quite likely that whatever port they configure their node to use will end up being the port that all the seed hosts will be assumed to be using.

Of course the new clients are based on new bitcoin code so maybe they long ago fixed this potential problem, maybe it'd only apply to the ancient code I am used to.
