Hi Guys,
I was setting up a dedicated node for EvilCoin piggy backing on the back of one of my many webservers
. I just wanted to make sure I did it correctly I compiled and ran the daemon EvilCoind and set it to restart at boot.
The conf has the rpc port/username/pass standard stuff and then I have
listen=1
server=1
daemon=1
maxconnections=500
timeout=15000
Was there anything else I needed to setup?
It has been a few days and still shows only 6 connections is that okay or should there be more? my Qt version on windows shows usually more than 12 lol.
*Edit
Bah forgot my IP tables getting more connections now lol.
Anything else I should setup? for a full node anyone?
For a full node you are definitely helping, so thank you again. When we go PoS (Proof of Stake) in December approximately, it would be great for nodes to stake their EVIL to ensure a smooth moving blockchain, but that is a long time from now (and I have plans to make sure the staking is smooth, including the "burn" EVIL for Kittehs initiative).
Two "gotcha's" that bit me to be aware of:
1 - Run 'strip Evilcoind' if you built the client yourself. Debugging symbols are compiled in by default.
2 - Turn staking off until it becomes active on the network ( ./Evilcoind -staking=0 -daemon ) If staking is on, the client chews up about 30% of a core, as opposed to 1.3%, and also generates a bucket of logging that doesn't need to be there wasting disk cycles.
Welcome to the Dark Side, Kitten count on the rise.
Excellent tips lavajumper, for EVIL wallet (indeed for all coin wallets, but of course no one here runs coins other than EVIL
)!
I will throw more hash at your pool today,
http://lavapit.lavajumper.com... everyone remember that EVIL mining is low difficulty, with future profits probably ensured because of current low price of coin.
CrashOverride16 thank you for running full node - if it is running, PM me with your IP and wallet addresses and I'll send you some EVIL for your effort!
