Topic: how to keep Blockchain up-to-date on Windows? (Read 725 times)
For some coins I found I had to hunt through 100+ pages of their ANN threads looking for nodes. Often trying all the nodes I could find was the only way I could get them to sync. It would have been helpful if the dev kept an up to date list of working nodes on the OP of the ANN thread.
add some nodes and make sure there is no double ports
no Ideas?
Hello,
for an altcoin-Project i want to read in numerous altcoin-Blockchains. They should be up-to-date and include the transactions of the last minutes.. So i installed some coins.. I use a Windows-Computer with quite big ressources ( 8 cores, 16 GB Ram, 1 GBit Downstream, 1 GBit Upstream, Windows Server 2012 64 R2 ).. So i installed worldcoin-qt.exe, megacoin-qt.exe etc.. ( instead of bitcoind because not every coin has it.. ) and use the following commandline:
megacoin-qt.exe -datadir=data -server -rpcallowip=127.0.0.1 -rpcport=1337 -rpcuser=myuser -rpcpassword=mypass
so everything boots up.. fetches the blockchain within 24 hours.. and i can connect on the rpc-port and fetch blocks via JSON-RPC
but: these altcoins do not have all blocks of the network. Their newest block is already 1 - 2 hours old! sometimes they are 12 hours behind.. in the debug-window i can see this on most coins.. as you can see: the coins use very low ressources.. and only worldcoin is up to date... the server-port ( e.g. 7951 for Megacoin ) is opened in Windows-Firewall.. i have like 10 incoming connections and 10 outgoing connections for every coin on the right port... So why can't they speed things up? i don't see any options.. I am not going to ask every altcoin what they think... there must be a general problem!?
so why do they behave so bad for me ( i can not download ) and why do they behave so bad for the network ( i can not upload )?
