The solution I found to this was to re-add other nodes addnode=68.684.384.1 etc from the masternode list that were up to date and running and deleting the old ones that were on there. But this seems a right ball ache. Are there any solutions for this??
Also why cant we send coins from the wallet anymore without restarting the wallet while the masternode is running??
using coin control you can select any .66666666 reward inputs and send them without interupting the masternode in its running state. sometimes and not others the 500 coin collateral input may not even show in coin control as spendable. in this case you have to turn off the masternode and restart without masternode=1 so the coins are available to be spent (if your shutting don that node)
sorry i cant help with connections, i dont have addnodes and mine seem to be fine..
