Hi. Just discovering HBN. I intend to buy a handful and plant them in my new V 1.3 wallet.
After two hours though I don't have a single active connection. Is there something I can do about this?
Here are the peers I am currently connected to. Try grabbing some of the ip addresses and going to the debug window and typing "addnode ipaddresshere" . Tranz and I are working on getting a page on the wiki devoted to the new seed nodes and permanent addnodes, and should have full instructions up soon.
