Hi.
I see that there were about 10 nodes deployed in Amsterdam, yet Grinnode.live currently only shows 3. what could cause this? is that a network issue or a host issue ?
It is not the same code. What you see in Grinnode.live is a count of total inbound and outbound Grin-Nodes connections.
If you want to see a count of all of the nodes you should go here https://nodes.grincc.mw/
I was going to ask the same question
Thanks for the info David!
If you are using Grin++ and want to use the nodes, please, find server_config.json
file and replace the content with this:
{
"P2P" :
{
"MAX_PEERS" : 60,
"MIN_PEERS" : 8,
"PREFERRED_PEERS" :

If you are using grin
and want to use the nodes, please, find grin-server.toml
file, uncomment peers_preferred
and replace the content with this:

Opening Grin++ after 8 days, port is open, 12 / 2
, list of nodes added , 12K blocks behind, took an hour of syncing.
Not great.
Nice I’m syncing my grin “core” node now, And it is going super slow with low peers. I am going to try this now
If you are in Europe, use this list for Grin++:
{
"P2P":{
"MAX_PEERS":60,

For those Grin++ users in Russia and Ukraine:

peers_preferred = ["45.156.22.227","45.156.21.8","194.116.216.213"]
Yeah… so why is it still so slow?
I do not know, maybe peers were banned for some reason. What you can do is this:
- Close Grin++
- Delete the content of the peers folder (~/.GrinPP/MAINNET/NODE/DB/PEERS)
- Make sure you are using the Europe list if you are in Europe.
- Open Grin++
Preferred peers means that the node will use that list to try to connect to them initially. You can also change the field name to ALLOWED_PEERS
so your node will only connected to the peers in the list, but I do not recommend that.
Big help for my most recent sync. Cut the initial download time in half, if not more (due to otherwise slow or unreliable peers.)
I will say for the grin-wallet/node you have to add “:3414” at the end of any preferred IP address, otherwise you will get an error on startup from the toml “cannot parse DNS” (or something like that.)
I’ve mostly been helping by mining but would like to setup a node too.
