Topic: Running on a port other than 8333 (Read 26218 times)
yeah, it's more like... if it's a nonstandard port, mark it as such, and connect much less frequently....ie: only one nonstandard port connection per day... with a doubling backoffs on failure, and random time to attempt. this would allow nonstandard ports to exist. any web server can handle an extra 10k requests evenly spread out through the day, so no risk of ddos. if this seems to work, and it's useful, and it doesn't turn into a mosh pit on testnet, the levels can be slowly raised to 10 nonstandard peers per day, or whatever.
Great, thanks!!
It's in net.cpp
Look for:
Look for:
Code:
// do not allow non-default ports, unless after 50 invalid addresses selected already
if (addr.GetPort() != Params().GetDefaultPort() && nTries < 50)
continue;
if (addr.GetPort() != Params().GetDefaultPort() && nTries < 50)
continue;
It doesn't matter which post you select, because at some point in time (around adding the addr messages ad removing IRC) the algo in the bitcoin core for selecting peers to connect to has been fucked up. And ever since then the bitcoin core node intentionally discards peers that are listening at non-default port.
I raised this issue once, but the answer was that it wasn't a bug, but a security feature.
Great feature, BTW - it makes me feel so much more secured!
Anyway, if you setup you node to use a different port, you only get incoming connections from non bitcoin core nodes.
Because the bitcoin code node is fucked up and nobody gives a shit about it.

Can you link me to the section of code that discards the peers, i'd like to submit a patch toc change that aspect. Users should be allowed to use whatever port they desire.
Changing it is easy - you just need to remove a bit of code...
But I remember gmaxwell saying that they wouldn't change it, because it would allow for someone to use bitcoin nodes for conducting DDoS attacks on internet servers
Not sure where it is now - the code is changing all the time... give me a sec.

You need to specify the -rpcport of the instance you want to stop (probably 7332).
yep, hence using the -datadir switch to point to the secondary bitcoin.conf file... thank you.
Hi guys, I know this thread is very old but it is something I am experiencing right now.
The example conf here is for old versions and I was wondering if you can post one that is suitable for 0.9 +

so i was able to get this working, one instance running on 8333/8332 and another working on 7333/7332.
But when I tried to stop the 2nd instance, it stopped the first one instead!
/web/sites/.bitcoin1/bitcoind <- this runs on the default ports
/web/sites/.bitcoin2/bitcoind -datadir=/web/sites/.bitcoin2/ <- this runs on 7333
/web/sites/.bitcoin2/bitcoind stop <- this command stops the bitcoin1 instance!
UseBut when I tried to stop the 2nd instance, it stopped the first one instead!

/web/sites/.bitcoin2/bitcoind stop <- this command stops the bitcoin1 instance!
/web/sites/.bitcoin2/bitcoind -datadir=/web/sites/.bitcoin2/ stop
Thanks, will try that...
Funny I tried that switch before, but I put it after the 'stop':
/web/sites/.bitcoin2/bitcoind stop -datadir=/web/sites/.bitcoin2/ <- doesn't work
didn't even think to put it first.
so i was able to get this working, one instance running on 8333/8332 and another working on 7333/7332.

0.3.20
DONT EVER RUN A CLIENT OLDER THAN 0.3.24, EVER, EVER.http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=21767.msg373830#msg373830
honestly i'd like to upgrade but i still haven't found a solution to the missing glibcxx_3.4.11 yet.
/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.11' not found
/lib/i686/cmov/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.11' not found

maybe i'm just misunderstanding how this is supposed to work...
but can anyone tell me what mainline version number this was first added to? it's not working with 0.3.20 but i guess i should maybe be upgrading anyway.

Why are you trying to run 2 bitcoinds?
Isn't the answer to that question in the OP?
(to run two separate websites/businesses/wallets on one server at the same time)
Why are you trying to run 2 bitcoinds? There is no reason to run 2 bitcoinds on the public network.
thanks matt, i have more questions now hopefully someone can help
c) do i physically need 2 copies of the bitcoind bin? i'm not much of a linux guy but i tried to nohup the 2nd instance of bitcoind from the same physical program file and it doesn't appear to have launched the 2nd process.
d) i was going to ask how to just stop one instance and not both, but if you need 2 physical copies of bitcoind then a simple stop command would make sense.

a) is this information still current
Yesb) has this functionality made it into the default client, or i still need to find a patched version?
Mainline. I've been working on adding -port= / -rpcport= command line / config file options to bitcoin.
Usage looks like this:
Patches are at http://pastebin.com/2e4hfXSS; I've only tested on Linux so far, anybody willing to try this on Windows?
Usage looks like this:
Code:
$ ./bitcoind getbalance # The TEST network Faucet bitcoind
40616.66159265000
$ ./bitcoind -datadir=/home/bitcoin/.bitcoinTEST2 getbalance
1000.000000000000
$ cat /home/bitcoin/.bitcoinTEST2/bitcoin.conf
rpcpassword=.....
port=18666

$ ./bitcoind -datadir=/home/bitcoin/.bitcoinTEST2 getbalance

a) is this information still current, or is there some more up-to-date thread i should be reading instead? (i notice there is an rpcport option in the example bitcoin.conf going around, but no 'port' option).
b) has this functionality made it into the default client, or i still need to find a patched version?
thank you.
