I have two servers with same 4-core, two threads per core CPUs.
On one, I got coins.
On the other, none.
The difference?
The one getting coins had incoming port open, thus other people's machines had been able to connect to it; it had 75 connections.
The other machine only had 8 connections, the default limit coded into pretty much all the varieties of coins.
I opened its incoming port. I has now, a few minutes later, found a block. It has 25 connections.
(Both are on the same class C subnet, so clients looking for a node to connect to only connect to one of these two machines, as they prefer their connections to be more widely dispersed.)
Oh gosh, if I post this, people might read it. Some might even act on it! That might cut into my share of the coins!
Darn. Okay, lets start a countdown, in only 24 hours I will post this messageadhrfhajfdjdsfgkjmkghm, arg, finger slipped, it posted!
TL;DR please ignore the above, it was posted by mistake!

I tried to open ports too, but only 8 connections still.. What port are u supposed to open and how?
