this is ridiculous, there never was an issue to begin with
while you're bust distributing money to people that have done absolutely nothing, i've been running a dedicated node for a month
"version" : 80600,
"protocolversion" : 70001,
"walletversion" : 60000,
"balance" : 0.00000000,
"blocks" : 36221,
"timeoffset" : -1,
"connections" : 375,
"proxy" : "",
"difficulty" : 0.01203577,
"testnet" : false,
"keypoololdest" : 1384922232,
"keypoolsize" : 6,
"paytxfee" : 0.01000000,
"errors" : ""
the solution was obvious, fix the seed node list
i have noticed i've been getting more connections lately. i'd hate to be a source of free money for someone that's done two things: jack and shit. so if i find that it's on a new seed node list, i'll take it down
