I just replaced my darkcoind and darkcoin-qt files, that's all I did and both started up with no problems. I don't think there is anything wrong with my port settings. I think this has something to do with the latest version of the wallets. both QT and daemon.

Thanks for your help crowning, but I've got so much work to do, LOL. I guess I probably won't get any payments until I'm properly updated but I'm going to run the older version until something is updated again. BTW, a couple of other people experienced this on BCT as well.

i just had it too .. i set a rule in my firewall to open port 9999 but it still said inbound port 9999 not open, in the end i got it working by deleting the maxconnections=....line and adding some
stabile nodes :

addnode=54.187.228.106:9999
addnode=68.226.51.134:9999
addnode=192.241.246.214:9999
addnode=93.95.228.131:9999
addnode=94.23.148.203:9999
addnode=212.129.12.103:9999
addnode=81.134.134.100:9999
addnode=108.61.211.107:9999

it restarted then from cold wallet. Afterwards i deleted the rule in my firewall and added the
maxconnections=256 back in my darkcoin.conf
It sure was weird.

well, I updated to 16.9 and it's been, I don't know, has it been an hour? My ip's dropped off the list :(

should I :
1. wait and see if I come back onto the network?
2. try qwizzie's method on 16.8?
3. Hang myself?
4. go to sleep with some potent sleeping pills?

LOL

I just thought of a 5th option, that I'm gonna use. Mai tai time!

16.11 is out :)
 
still not working for me :( Get same problem and qwizzie's solution isn't working either. Something is not right....

16.6 works
16.7-11 don't

I deleted peers.dat again
I tried qwizzie's solution, nope
I'm at the end of my rope :mad:
 
you can check ports by
Code:
netstat -an | grep 9999
or
Code:
netstat -an | grep 19999
respectively

also check debug.log - maybe daemon banned your local machine for some time (24h by default)
Code:
cat ~/.darkcoin/debug.log | banned
you can remove peers.dat or/and try to use this option then
Code:
-bantime=<n>           Number of seconds to keep misbehaving peers from reconnecting (default: 86400)

Did you change something in the darkcoin.conf (hot wallet)?

masternodeaddr=178.xxx.xxx.xxx:9999
 
nope, nothing at all. except recently when I deleted maxconnections and inserted addnodes as suggested above ^^^
 
I was getting "not capable masternode" only when I used "masternode start-many" without the correct setup.
 
I haven't tried that. I have only 2 so it wasn't worth it for me to try something new....

Edit:

Now I've installed ntp to keep track of time, and sync'd both machines
I've dumped my ip address, and got a new one
I got a new masternode private key
I placed the info in all the correct places (both conf files)

and I still get "not capable masternode" on the remote server. I am giving up.

couple of things in my debug log I'm going to extract here in case anyone understands them. It seems to me that my wallet is looking at itself to see if it is capable to be a masternode. But that's my ignorant intermpretation:

Well, now I'm up all night again. I've tried creating a new wallet, and doing everything over from scratch, from the beginning. I got my local to say masternode started, and it shows the remote server's ip address on the list, but the remote server insists it's not a capable masternode and does not see the other wallet on the masternode list. Why am I always the one that has everything screwed up? (bangs head against the wall)

Just shoot me, seriously, I'm such an old dog, shoot me!

I don't know when this happened, or how but somehow I had my wallet on my local on 15.x!

After I fixed this and created a new private key, and put it in both wallets, my remote wallet still claimed "not capable masternode". However, after starting my local hot masternode, it showed up on the remote as "successfully started"

Now, if it is still running In the morning, I may not kill myself! LOL (JK)

i've got a question concerning instantx,
i read all the possible attacks through in the white paper, but what happens if the masternode network is ddos attacked and some bad actor masternodes overtake the network for a short period.
wouldn't that be a scenario for doublespending?

That's a good question. I think the easiest way to protect from this kind of attack is by simply stopping providing InstantX functionality if there is less then SomeReasonableNumberOfMasternodes. And set SomeReasonableNumberOfMasternodes to.. let's say 1000.

Compared to the vulnerability of over 50% of the total nethash being controlled be 3 or 4 people, this isn't even worth thinking about.
 
My MNs are still running, I'm a very happy camper :)

However, this brain of mine is a serious issue. It needs re-programming (or new hardware). Any suggestions? :what::confused::eek::tongue::oops:

Congrats Tante, just finished rebuilding all mine from scratch too. I've given up trying to improve my brain, it's too far gone. :tongue:
