i modded the conf file slightly. that fixed it. needed that 1 connect to get an initial connection so that the rest could seed. my b on that
What if that node is down... no one can seed? Can we add a secondary connect?
if you already have a populated peer.dat file then you actually will never need a node. it is just for people who are connecting for the first time. also i am in possesion of the physical device. it is right next to me. so it should never go down. also there are two other nodes listen in the DNS list in net.cpp. so there shouldnt be a problem finding one of the three nodes.
I still got the same error I was getting with the 1.8.4 wallet about memory. It doesn't happen all the time, but it happened the first time I ran the new wallet.
i will look into that
I'm getting lots of these errors and no syncing on the latest version:
ERROR: CheckProofOfWork() : hash doesn't match nBits
ERROR: CBlock::ReadFromDisk() : errors in block header
