Requesting volunteers to provide seed nodes

[vikram]

I have had to change my seed node.  I am no longer running 95.85.33.16:8764, I am now running 46.101.130.197:1776.  I apologize for the inconvenience.

It would be helpful if one of you guys could write a short tutorial on running a seed node so others can more easily volunteer. Preferably it could be a page on the wiki (http://wiki.bitshares.org/index.php/Main_Page) I think.

Thanks everyone so far. The current list can be found here from now on: https://github.com/BitShares/bitshares/blob/bitshares/libraries/client/include/bts/client/seed_nodes.hpp

Just so everyone knows, the current list of default seed nodes: https://github.com/BitShares/bitshares/blob/469cd826066b05d4399aaa081eccf783a776c0e6/libraries/client/include/bts/client/client.hpp#L70-L89

are they enough ? Would it be better to have more?

I'm also running a seed node from the latest master at: 46.226.109.66:1776

It is hosted in Luxembourg at http://gandi.net and has the following specs:

OS: Debian Jessie
CPU: dual-core Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2650L 0 @ 1.80GHz
RAM: 4G
Bandwidth: 100Mb/s symmetric

Added to default list for next release: https://github.com/BitShares/bitshares/commit/62201d007f275929a4365d17a2f29658486d7d82

A networking fix has been pushed to master branch that fixes a stuck pending transaction problem: https://github.com/dacsunlimited/bitsharesx/commit/621a94f61e9eee50a98d61c15c2e3d9031eb354a

All seed nodes should update to the latest master branch.

Just for your information my seednode is already updated...

Shouldn't this be an important announcement?
Shouldn't there be a tag for this ?

I should have been more clear. This fix is not a required upgrade and this issue has been present for a long time. It has been causing annoyances for some users (particularly those using market bots). We fixed it just after the last release was already out, and so rather than everyone waiting for the next required upgrade, if only the seed nodes update beforehand it would already be sufficient to fix the problem for most users for now.

Ok. I just feel uneasy using the master. A tag will be better IMHO. Anyway it should be mentioned in the important updates thread because most people are subscribed for it. This thread can be missed. I believe everyone needs to update in order to fix the issue ?
