I downloaded and compiled the version from Github (which seems to be 1.7 from the README.md) on Ubuntu. As expected from the comments, the most-updated version didn't seem to find any connections after I prepared the config file with the nodes I could find that seemed active recently; that is, the config file contains:
addnode=5.58.42.119:20000
addnode=24.225.155.33:20000
addnode=46.105.62.121:20000
addnode=46.175.27.155:20000

addnode=67.182.13.173:20000
addnode=67.240.248.216:20000
addnode=72.241.235.204:20000
addnode=85.236.188.28:20000
addnode=108.61.170.22:20000
addnode=144.76.91.109:20000
addnode=172.104.156.182:20000
addnode=184.164.129.202:20000 .
I also tried the third version down on the commits page (
https://github.com/thegreatoldone/offerings/commits/master ) which is 1.6 but had compilation issues:

So what would be the best way to make my offerings to the Ancient Ones on Ubuntu (which version should I try or has the no-connections issue with version 1.7 been resolved somehow)?
