Example for a proper setup to act as a full-node? ( x.conf file setup?)
It's enough to have listen=1 in your config, however you might still be unable to accept incoming connections depending on your ISP and router setup.
For the 0.10 release you should also ensure full sync (spv=0 and autorequestblocks=1).
If you are offline when the pool's down try addnode=80.208.229.211
Added the spv & autorequestblocks settings.
Thanks for the suggestions.
I think we only really need more nodes running so disruptions are less likely.
