It's at testnet-seed.bitcoin.petertodd.org I also created static-testnet-seed.bitcoin.petertodd.org which currently has a single A record pointing to a testnet node I'm running to bootstrap the seeder itself. Everything is running on a dedicated Amazon EC2 micro instance. Just IPv4 is supported right now as EC2 doesn't support IPv6; even tunnels are broken. I also haven't setup tor yet. I can do both if there is demand. I guess the next step is to create a new strTestNetDNSSeed in the satoshi client, although it'd be better if at least one more person had a testnet seed to include in the list. Probably best to leave IRC enabled too. Also, FWIW, it looks like the pnSeed list is way out of date... Pieter: Have you written any start/stop/monitoring scripts for the seeder? My mods are at git://github.com/petertodd/bitcoin-seeder.git in the "testnet" branch. I'll send you a pull request once it's had some testing. -- 'peter'[:-1]@petertodd.org [-- Attachment #2: Digital signature --] [-- Type: application/pgp-signature, Size: 490 bytes --] ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

That can happen, or something different. A nice alternative might be a simple script that transforms Pieter's seeds.txt into pnSeed[] -- Jeff Garzik exMULTI, Inc. jgarzik@exmulti•com ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

You mean the dumpfile produced by bitcoin-seeder? That has uptime info, although only a months worth if I understand it correctly. pnSeed probably should be filtered with SORB's dynamic ip list or similar too, and additionally add an expiry time.

(1 year?) That's fine. The main point was to create something scripted and repeatable. Then pnSeed[] becomes easier to maintain _and_ easier to audit. Right now it is a bit opaque with a list of hex constants. A script or makefile rule could do cd src ../contrib/gen-seeds.py > seeds.h and seeds might look like #ifndef __SEEDS_AUTOGEN_H__ etc. unsigned int pnSeed[] = { 0xABCD1234, /* IP addr 12.34.56.78 */ }; I think Satoshi liked them opaque and not easily searchable, so printing the readable IP address in a comment may not be desired. Anyway, that output would make updating the list more transparent and easy to maintain. -- Jeff Garzik exMULTI, Inc. jgarzik@exmulti•com ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

It has information about all non-banned IPs that were ever connected to succesfully. The connectability% is a decaying average, with a time constant of up to a month, though. I have a script ready which combines one or more seeds.txt's data into a pnSeed[] array C source code, by the way. I'll add it to the repository. -- Pieter ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread
