Plenty alive and kicking

If you want to sync quickly then downloading a bootstrap is the easiest method. The website bumbacoin.com has a link, or here it is

There is a help.txt to walk you through the simple steps

Here's a few nodes :

23.152.0.160
167.160.36.13
76.169.51.184
178.195.187.188

Its a great staking coin. Thank you Bumba for your hard DEV work.

I don't understand much about mining, but I like the way you explain and use the image

I don't have any RPI experience, I assume the largest hassle would be storage as the staking is nothing odd. Bumba's blockchain is about 2.6 gigs so nothing too bad.

If you get it working I'd be interested in you writing up how you set it up. I'd be happy to reward you with some Bumba for that.

Hello,

Drew a blank with getting it working on my Pi for now, or on my laptop running actual Ubuntu and installed the Windows version of the wallet on my desktop.  It installed no problem, I copied the bootstrap file and deleted the necessary and it picked it up and processed it.  But it just won't connect to the network.  I'm running the latest 1.1.0.0 downloaded today from the link on the Bumba website.  I allowed it through my software firewall, does it need any ports on the router forwarding?  If so which ones please and TCP and/or UDP?

Cheers, Mike...

Okay, so may be it's just me being thick but in case any one else encounters the problems I have I'll write this to help them, or for those smarter than me to ridicule.

* Installed Windows wallet, no connections to the Bumba network.
* Eventually found out it uses ports 20202 and 20222.  Not sure which is for the mainnet and which for testnet, I found conflicting info on this so I forwarded both in my router.  Once I've got the wallet synced and fully working I'll disable each in turn and find out which it actually needs.
* Still no connections to the Bumba network.
* From post No. 339 (by bumbacoin) in this thread it appeared I was on a fork - not sure how because I used the latest bootstrap from the link on the Bumba website.
* From post No. 338 (by ukmayhem) I moved everything other than .lock and wallet.dat to a temp directory, will delete that lot once everything is fully sorted.
* From post No. 606 (by linenoise) I opened a command prompt as Admin, navigated to the directory where the wallet .exe lives and entered "bumbacoin2-qt-win32-v1100.exe -addnode=167.160.36.13" (without quotes) and the wallet loaded and had 1 active connection showing when I moused over the "signal bars" in the bottom right corner.  I'd tried the first IP in the list linnoise gave but that did nothing for me.
* Once it had that one active connection it started syncing from the network and gaining more and more nodes.  Currently it's at 20 active connections (hasn't increased in a while so I suspect that's a max. number).

Will be waiting a while for it to fully sync but at least it looks like it's all working as it should :-)

I hope this helps some one else get started in the future.

Next onto figuring out how to install and make the Linux wallet work.  My end goal is to have it running on my RPi2.

Cheers, Mike...

Thanks to bumbacoin, ukmayhem, linenoise and every one else who contributed to this thread, useful information in here and a lot of laughs.  Thanks all.

EDIT: 20 isn't a max. No. of nodes, it's now up to 23.

Thanks for the Discord invite, have just joined.  Will probably post a few questions once I've had a chance to read the FAQ etc. unlikely before Mon. though.

Now I just have to figure out what the problem with signing up with TouchMyCoin is.

Cheers, Mike...
