I found an IP that new users can connect with:
107.170.61.190Use as follows:
./emoticoind -connect=107.170.61.190
Only needed if your wallet does not get any blocks.
Do NOT do this! Nodes that comes with wallet works OK. And the network is now syncing well.Sorry but no, neither seed node in the source works, last I checked. To test, you need a blank system that has not been on the network in the past so that other nodes have no record of it. For example, spawn a droplet on Digital Ocean.
My suggestion was harmless enough as a one time thing because the IP is one of the pools you endorse on your website (emo.miningglobalwarming.com) and I had tested it to work fine. However -addseed would have been a better choice in retrospect.
