I have successfully setup a grin node and connected to grinnode.live, and it was fun!

I will add two more nodes this afternoon, one existing and one new one.

@david, I do not see a grin-server.toml file as part of Grin++. What config file does Grin++ use where I can specify the peers_preferred? Thx.

Anynomous · April 1, 2020, 9:05pm

I just realized I cannot setup additional nodes due to the need for port forwarding for port 3414 . Since I forward the ports used by Grin to one computer cannot redirect to another, right? I was even thinking of going for three nodes by adding a node running on a Raspberry Pi. Any thoughts on how to circumvent this limitation?

Don’t stop using Grin++ to participate

But, if you are on Windows I can recomend you setting up a Grin-Node under Windows following my How-To: https://github.com/MCM-Mike/grinnode.live/blob/master/documentation/node/winodws-how-to-run-node.md to run a Grin-Node and connect to us. (not 100% ready but it will guide you through the steps)

You can also share this link and I am writing on an official Windows Grin-Node article here on the main repository: https://github.com/mimblewimble/docs/wiki/(draft)-How-to-run-a-Grin-Node-(Windows) (also in draft state)

As always have fun

Anynomous · April 2, 2020, 9:08am

I would love to do so, but I cannot run two nodes from the same IP right? Nor additional nodes via the same router since I can only forward port 3414 to a single machine.

mcm-mike · April 2, 2020, 9:55am

To not repeat my self again: " Don’t stop using the Grin++"

Using the Grin-Node under Windows (see my how-to) you can add the preferred_peer .

i have successfully setup 2 Grin-Nodes and connected both to Grinnode.live.

Hard to win when you are late 2 the party but im still gonna try!

This is the Grin-Node Challenge 2020 spirit have fun and perhaps you win a t-shirt

Anynomous · April 7, 2020, 5:20pm

Exactly, you can always win an awesome T-shirt. And if you do not win one, you can buy one to ease the pain of not winning. I also put two nodes online.

mcm-mike · April 15, 2020, 7:07am
