Hey ckoeber or icecube: (or anyone that can explain really)

I am definitely willing to host a node if it's something I have the resources to do. I don't have a web server, but if possible, I'll help from home. I'm on the correct chain, is there anything more to it than running galaxycoin-qt and possibly keeping a port forwarded? And using "connect" instead of "addnode"?

Also, what kind of bandwidth will this consume/what will I need? (preferably tcp) I only have a 1M upload at my house.

~~If this will be a lengthy setup, feel free to PM me.~~ Actually, if you post it here, maybe someone else will join in too and we'll have more nodes.

Sorry if this is noob question Grin

Download the client and make sure it is 100% synced. Follow the guide on the first post.

Make sure this is what your galaxycoin.conf config file is like:

Code:

listen=1
daemon=1
server=1
rpcuser=**Yourusername**
rpcpassword=**Yourpassword**
rpcport=15522
rpcconnect=127.0.0.1
addnode= 87.209.206.80
addnode= 71.4.209.204
addnode= glx.verters.com
addnode= 193.68.21.36

Then, open port 15521 to the world; you can then announce the IP address everyone else should connect to for your system.
