I've all that in my .crown/crown.conf.  The server is a VPS, so its IP is public and there's no firewall or anything else that would block the port.  In fact, I have 80 connections, including many incoming ones; I also verified that I can telnet to the address/port combination (51.254.131.226:9340).  This used to work with the old client, and I haven't since touched the configs or the network configuration at all.

Same problem, I'm getting incorrect port for mainnet but I have many connections and conifg is same. Let me guess, regenerate the throne because of the fork?

Everything is ran on the vps, because we have many thrones and many vpsSame problem,
(edit) I'm getting incorrect port for mainnet but I have many connections and conifg is same. Let me guess, regenerate the throne because of the fork?

You shouldn't need to regenerate inputs because of the fork, if you have multiple vps' you could try switching to a cold node setup? It would give you a bit better security, and the ability to control all of the thrones from a single wallet, rather than having to navigate to each of the VPS' to start them if they go down.

That won't fix the hotnode problem, but i'm just about done my coffee, and getting into everything now. I'll let you guys know what i find.

Right ! finally recreated, just working on finding the issue now.

Found the fix and the issue for the hot throne, nothing too major and I can release a client fix for it shortly. Going to talk to the team to see if they would like to make a release for it or not, but it will not require everyone to update. to put everyones mind at ease

https://github.com/Crowndev/crowncoin/tree/fix-hot-throne


Alright guys just going to put this out here. If you find an issue with something and your certain your config is okay. Then check the Dash github. https://github.com/dashpay/dash and type a short statement explaining the issue. With the last one being "hot node" if you search that you'll see that there was a PR merged into dash 0.12.1.x to fix the issue with hot nodes.

It's a bit easier on me, since I to try and recreate and track the issue before I consider it an issue. If someone points me right toward the fix it's much easier to get implemented at a quicker pace

just testing it now myself to see If everything is alright. Found another addition made to dash that should help with the hot nodes.

https://github.com/Crowndev/crowncoin/tree/fix-hot-throne

Give that a shot now. I was able to successfully broadcast and see the node from my windows wallet. I've done a few things that should've helped with the issue.

Did you have a chance to set your mining address? Please claim your address when possible. It will also help with advertisement to your pool, people on the block explorer will be able to see which blocks are mined by you with a link to your pool.
