ahh.. you are correct. i will edit. i meant to say change the Port. and therefore also the RPCport to be almost the same. usually the Port # + 1 , so it is easy to remember...
sorry to be a pain but to be clear DO NOT CHANGE THE PORT PARAMETER in the Karma config file... if you do that then you will broadcast and listen on a port that nobody else is using so you wont be able to connect unless other people are using the same port. the port parameter is hard coded by the devs that is why that parameter is not needed in a config file. (this is done because each altcoin uses a different port). This is a limitation of Bitcoin, Litecoin and any other coin based on those coins.. because they don't use port ranges they can only talk and listen on one port at a time. the port parameter is only there so that people can switch to a different network like a testnet for development work.
If you change the RPC port parameter it will do nothing with regards to connecting to peers.
I think we should step back from getting people to hack their config files (because you can seriously break things if you don't know what your doing) and just upload a working Peers.dat file...
as far as I am aware the peers.dat file contains no personal information, its just a list of nodes (ip addresses) and whether they are active or how long they have been idle for.
sorry to be a stickler but this discussion has probably confused the crap out of any newbie trying to get their wallet working thats why i'm suggesting that we just put up a peers.dat file.. much simpler and easier to follow
