Remove non-functioning seeders and full nodes #104
Conversation
I have removed all the non-functioning seeders after testing all of them. The list is here: https://1drv.ms/w/s!AsTGLNLt5YBypgS8ljrD5-aSSqol Many of these were not actually DNS Seeders but full nodes. The plan is to replace all these with true DNS Seeders, with each one run by a different member of the community, distributed around the globe. Each person running a Seeder will be making their own PR to add theirs. All these should be DNS Seeders NOT full nodes. This is how Bitcoin does it: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/07ce278455757fb46dab95fb9b97a3f6b1b84faf/src/chainparams.cpp#L132 I have also added some guidelines on how people should add their Seeder, including their name and Github URL so everyone knows who to contact in the event of a problem. I have also added the testnet seeders setup by myself and @j50ng since there are none working right now. Everyone else will make their own PR to add theirs. This is simply to get the testnet working again at least for this branch. The new list of Seeders can be seen here: https://1drv.ms/w/s!AsTGLNLt5YBypgadXSi16NEPaXes

As a note anyone can easily check these are working by checking the following links: https://www.whatsmydns.net/#A/seed.digibyte.io https://www.whatsmydns.net/#A/seed.digibyte.help |

Thank you @saltedlolly, especially for adding the testnet seeders. Those will be exceptionally important for future updates

Thanks! Thanks for the addition! We are about to merge the 8.22 feature branch into develop. Once that's done can you make a PR to add those? Cheers |

@SmartArray There are a couple more testnet seeders already running that we will get added via a PR from the people running them. We are also looking to get a few more mainnet seeders spun up as well. I guess we should wait and make a PR to the develop branch for those, once it gets merged. It would obviously help everyone if you could fix the testnet startup bug. :) |

Many of these were not actually DNS Seeders but full nodes. Regardless, any that are no longer functioning, I have removed. The plan is to replace all the current full nodes in this list with genuine DNS Seeders, with each one run by a different member of the community, distributed around the globe. Over the last few weeks, we have been finding volunteers to do this. For better redundancy, each Seeder has a single person in charge of it, and each person may only run a single mainnet and/or testnet Seeder.
Everyone setting up a Seeder will be making their own PR to add theirs to DigiByte Core. All these will be DNS Seeders and NOT full nodes (though they can run a full node on the same server if they desire). This is the same way Bitcoin does it: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/07ce278455757fb46dab95fb9b97a3f6b1b84faf/src/chainparams.cpp#L132
I have added some guidelines on how people should add their Seeder, requesting they include their name and Github handle so everyone knows who to contact in the event of a problem with the Seeder.
I have also added the testnet seeders recently set up by myself and @j50ng since none of the original testnet seeders are working anymore. This will get the testnet functioning properly again, at least for this branch. We already have two additional testnet Seeders already up and running, but they will be added in a PR from the people running them.
The new list of DigiByte Seeders (mainnet and testnet) and who is managing them can be seen here: https://1drv.ms/w/s!AsTGLNLt5YBypgadXSi16NEPaXes
We still have a few more Seeders to add around the world. If anyone can help by running one, please get in touch in the DGBCIT Telegram group: https://t.me/DGBCIT
