Pandadudz187y@endor i first wanted to create bitcoin based coin. Bit i like the idea of cryptonote more, the anonimity. Even tho they do have some documentation its not organised well, so it is a challange accepted. I dont mean to do anything serious with this i judt want to learn how blockchain works with different parameters. Im stuck at seed nodes now... but i think i know how to fix that now even tho i havent tried yet.. can u help if it doesnt work?

endor56667y@Pandadudz never played with it, but I think you just have to add a few hardcoded nodes for a new daemon instance to connect to.
Eg:
Create a node on 192.168.1.110 - this will be your 'seed node'.
Add its ip to the hardcoded ip list.
Now, all new nodes will look for 192.168.1.110 when they first start -
Pandadudz187yI will try. Thank you... just one more thing maybe you can help... i suppose that seed nodes(ubuntu server in my case) have to know what to do with that conection when main server is trying to connect to it.. not just open port. There has to be service/daemon that knows what to do :D is that right? If u understand what im trying to say @endor

endor56667y@Pandadudz the forknoted is the daemon in case (that's that the -d at the end stands for), and you can specify the port it binds to on startup (not sure what the default is)
-
endor56667y@Pandadudz as for the checkpoints, those are known block hashes (that already exist), and are used to make sync verification faster. They have to be manually added after the blocks have been created.
They're an optional feature though, a node can also avoid using known/trusted block hashes and just manually verify the whole chain. -
Pandadudz187yThank you... so the seed nodes have to have forknoted service running so it can act as a seed node... but why are there 8080 and 8081 ports opened in their example of config file for the seed nodes. Sorry if im boring you with questions. @endor
-
endor56667y@Pandadudz those two ports are for two different things.
The p2p port is the port on which nodes will talk to eachother, for syncing the blockchain and stuff.
The rpc port is the one you connect your clients (wallet programs) to, in order to check wallet balances and interact with the blockchain -
Pandadudz187yHaven't tried yet.. im at work now :D... i will try as soon as posible @endor if new problems occurre i will post here... tnx again
Any good mate want to share some knowledge about Cryptonote and Forknote. Maybe even help me with project? :)
