step 10 is not working for me at all

running seeder.py gives me the following stderr

DEBUG:parser:Reading seeds dump file: /home/deusopus/generic-seeder/dnsseed.dump
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "seeder.py", line 64, in <module>
    main()
  File "seeder.py", line 25, in main
    seed_candidates = parser.read_seed_dump(os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))) + '/' + configuration['cf_seed_dump'].replace('"', ''), configuration['wallet_port'].replace('"', '')[:7].strip())
  File "/home/deusopus/generic-seeder/cf-uploader/parser.py", line 73, in read_seed_dump
    with open(seeds_file) as seeds:
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/deusopus/generic-seeder/dnsseed.dump'

It seems you might be running through the steps pretty quickly. It takes a minute or two for the dump file to be created after you have started the seeder. Be patient and wait at least 1 minute first, then move on to Step 10 so that you can parse the good nodes that were found. I would actually recommend waiting a bit longer as well to be sure you are getting a better list, depending on how big your network is, it will take time to crawl all nodes.
