Just to clarify, the known good peer is below, correct?

[
{
"addr" : "24.199.222.230:11040",
"services" : "00000003",
"lastsend" : 1412186747,
"lastrecv" : 1412186747,
"bytessent" : 1209,
"bytesrecv" : 8607,
"blocksrequested" : 0,
"conntime" : 1412186747,
"version" : 70002,
"subver" : "/Satoshi:1.2.0.1/",
"inbound" : false,
"startingheight" : 36999,
"banscore" : 0,
"syncnode" : true
}
]

If so, I have changed my litecoindark.info file to remove the
"addnode" addresses to something like:

listen=1
server=1
daemon=1
rpcuser=[yourusername]
rpcpassword=[yourpassword]
rpcport=21040
connect=24.199.222.230:11040

This connects my wallet to only the 24.199.222.230 node.

Please confirm two things:

1. Is this node the valid seed node?
2. Are you absolutely sure that BEST-POOL.COM's wallet is on this fork at block 36999? I am throwing some serious mining power
    at BEST-POOL.COM and I want to make sure I am not wasting my hash power.
