Feathercoin Supernode List?
-
There are some seed nodes listed in the feathercoin config/properties file ?
-
feathercoin.conf? Isnt that created by the user and not by the program?
-
I think the user can change the file but one is included in the wallet I’m sure.
The peer nodes (not sure if that’s what your after) are added to the file as …
addnode=xx.xx.xx.xx
addnode=xx.xx.xx.xx
Etc etc -
This is the thread that got me thinking about it. https://litecointalk.org/index.php?topic=24338.0
I am still working out the bugs but basically I have a bunch of old Dell desktop machines that I am turning into supernodes for a few coins, including feathercoin. Im even considering sending them out to anyone who wants to run them (they would pay shipping). Ive got 8 that should be finished by tomorrow. I still want to make sure they are configured right and such but Im working on it.

That’d pretty cool

I think Tony and Lizhi know most about masternodes. Also you can see all nodes on map here, but it actualize very slowly (it grows like tree, from one node to another so it takes time).

Hope this helps. Any new fullnode even on rPi is more than welcomed!

I run a full node on a raspberry pi.
Unfortunately I do not yet have a static IP so it changes every few weeks, but should you want a node to sync to just look here and look at eitehr Perth or unknown area IP addreses and you will find me.

You can see a day or so gap when I was off-line due to nasty lightning storms around my house a week or so ago.
If you would like to help to strengthen network and have a spare raspberry pi its more than capable of running as a full node.
I have 1 Pi that is running as a full node for FTC and UFO and if you buy one of the newest upgraded Pi I’m sure it could work as a full node for atleast 3 coins.
I have even set up an install script for FTC on the Raspberry Pi and put it on Git.

Not as default this scrypt downloads my pre-compiled feathercoind and the blockchain from a couple of months back.
This saves you about 4 hours compiling and about 20 hours of syncing the blockchain.
But if you don’t like to download other peoples compiled files which is understandable I have commented the section in the scrypt to comment out and included in the scrypt what is needed to download feathercoin source from the git and compile it yourself, you just need to uncomment the section.
The only otehr thing you need to do is open up the ports on your router to make it a full node.

There are no ‘supernodes’ in the network. By design all nodes have the same rights. Each node that connects to another node, requests the list of neighbors from that node, this way learning about more nodes to connect to. This continues until the configured number of connections is reached.
The only thing is, that the local wallet needs to know or learn the first node to connect to in order to start the process. For this purpose there are a small number of ‘seed nodes’ hard coded in the client. These seed nodes are asked for client addresses to establish the first connection(s).
Currently configured in the client are the follwing seed nodes:
{“feathercoin.com”, “dnsseed.feathercoin.com”},
{“alltheco.in”, “dnsseed.alltheco.in”},
{“btcltcftc.com”, “dnsseed.btcltcftc.com”},
{“altcointech.net”, “dnsseed.fc.altcointech.net”}In addition to the process described above the local wallet can be forced to connect to a node either with the comand line paramter ‘-connect’ or with the online command ‘addnode’

Is this different from Bitcoin and Litecoin? I know they all are called something different but I thought the function and setup were the same. By setting the client up and port forwarding from your router you become a “supernode” or whatever you want to call it.
I have a few original rpi’s laying around and wanted to set them up as supernodes but they only have 256mb of ram so I doubt they would do much. I priced the new rpi2 but by the time you get a case, power supply, and large sd card your looking at $60. The Dells I can get for free.

A Raspberry Pi B, or B+ will do it.
I’ve been running one for several months on a B now, and it regularly is connected to around 100 peers. I did set the limit to 100 and it happily runs the FTC node and a UFO node on the same Pi.
The big plus of the Pi over a Dell is it only uses 5W of power, so if you are paying for the electricity its much cheaper to run.
Yes to set yourself up as a full node you just need to open up the port 9336 on your router and run the wallet and that’s it.
Then anyone can connect to your wallet.
For safety’s sake don’t keep the wallet with all your FTC on the machine that you have opened up the ports on your router to point to though.

Re: ftc nodes
Part of the reason for the effort in developing and running the ftc p2pool neoscrypt network is to establish long term nodes, (i.e. “supernodes”). It’s one reason maintaining the pools helps to maintain “distributiveness”. The pools now show up as long term established pools on pool finder and on the peer 2 peer ftc network. That is a better guarantee of “trusted node” than any programmed method…
As for maintaining home node, from my experience of learning security, I would advise experimenting on a Digital Ocean virtual server. It is possible to maintain multiple nodes on $5 month droplet. Although, I use 1 GB so I can compile if necessary.

I’m not sure but here maybe?http://p2pool.jir.dk/feathercoin/?allnodes=1
Wow ,My two p2pool are the fastest ^-^
