I'll ask the developer about the flags, see what he says. He has an excellent reputation. Maybe the IRC seems to annoy some of them.

@Mr Dime ... I made the Linux, and I am utterly useless with code. I hope it works for you. I get about 35 connections using the QT from 1.4. I wasn't sure if I needed to add a conf file or anything else., so I didn't.

I tested it on another computer and it connected fine after about 30 seconds. I guess it found peers.

use

addnode dime.altcointech.net add (or onetry) if it appears slow

NB: Dimecoin was previously unable to find peers, which is why the IRC was added. It had numerous problems with connections. These have since disappeared since the upgrade.

@Mr Dime (part 2) ... If you are clued up on development, why not get involved in some way with technical issues? I think people are under the impression that there is a developer here. This is not the case. The changes to 1.4 and the introduction of the blockexplorer were paid for with hard currency by me and another user here. I am personally funding the blockexplorer at 25 bucks a month and the website. Dimelord funded the Android wallet soon to be introduced.

Dimecoin is on the cusp of success, but it will get there much faster if people to join in and take a lead to push it forward.

If you are a stakeholder, and hold relevant skills. you are entitled to get involved in development.
