did all this, still socket closed from ambercoin01
Try
listen=0
connect=108.61.164.131
Once you synced change to
listen=1
addnode=ambercoin01.mooo.com
addnode=108.61.164.131
It is not a node but you should be able to sync.
This is not working for me. I cannot connect to ambercoin01.mooo.com or 108.61.164.131
connection timeout
trying connection 108.61.164.131 lastseen=0.0hrs
connection timeout
trying connection ambercoin01.m000.com lastseen=0.0hrs
connection timeout
trying connection 108.61.164.131 lastseen=0.0hrs
connection timeout
sorry. my mistake. I cannot connect to 108.61.164.131. I mistyped mooo but I will try again.
