So my idea that by PoBing at home one automatically provides a listening node to the net is completely wrong, right?
Not a listening node unless configured with listen=1 and UPNP-connected via the standard port.

I believe listen=1 is assumed when the parameter is missing from the .conf file.
At least it was this way with all the wallets I used (and with slimcoind v5 too I get inbound connections in complete absence of any listen= setting).
Not trying to be a smartass (well maybe a little bit

)
Otherwise my node is still synching, I remember it takes quite some time but I hoped to get more than 300k blocks in 24 hours.
