Number of masternode's connections

[GilAlexander]

How many connections have your running masternodes? My one have 8-10 after a week. Is it not enough? I see http://drk.poolhash.org/masternode.html masternodes have 20-30 and they had 60-70 in the past. As I understand, number of connection doesn't affect on payments while masternode is in list.
My darkcoin.conf contains maxconnections=200 and externalip=my elastic ip.

The number of outgoing connections is hardcoded to 8, so your client will only connect to 8 nodes by default. maxconnections= settings only affect incoming connections.

Nevertheless you should see more than 8-10 connections after a week. You could try to decrease the bantime= setting to 300 seconds (instead of 86400) so that your client is not banning other nodes that long.

This is one of my masternodes, 23 connections atm

Hi,

I am hosting a node for a customer for more than 10000 minutes now, and the node has never established more than 12 connections at once. This ist what the status looks like:

dcmonitor@dcnode-fra-01:~# ./masternode status
{
    "version" : 101232,
    "protocolversion" : 70035,
    "walletversion" : 60001,
    "balance" : 0.00000000,
    "anonymized_balance" : 0.00000000,
    "blocks" : 131841,
    "timeoffset" : 0,
    "connections" : 10,
    "proxy" : "",
    "difficulty" : 4372.87893721,
    "testnet" : false,
    "keypoololdest" : 1409177788,
    "keypoolsize" : 1001,
    "paytxfee" : 0.00000000,
    "mininput" : 0.00001000,
    "errors" : ""
}

Should I be bothered too?

Hi,
dcmonitor@dcnode-fra-01:~# ./masternode status

what is "./masternode status"?

I don't think so - 12 connections are sufficient.

 

[Figlmüller]

That's my shell script. "status" is just a wrapper for the getinfo function including dropping of rights with a preceding "su username -s /bin/bash" and chrooting to the subsystem where the daemon lies.

I don't think so - 12 connections are sufficient.

Alright, thanks!
