Post by: abit on March 06, 2015, 02:36:48 pm
It's hard to connect to faucet.bitshares.org in China. Any idea to improve?

It's not about the GFW , but the location and provider of the server .

I wonder if it would be faster with TOR?

Somebody from Chinese BitShares community just needs to fork the faucet's source code here https://github.com/BitShares/web_services, run own server and provide core developers with it's url so they can add its support to the wallets.

BTW you can easily translate faucet to Chinese by editing this file https://github.com/BitShares/web_services/blob/master/faucet/config/locales/zh.yml

I dont think it uses a CDN: http://gtmetrix.com/reports/faucet.bitshares.org/eLDVkeJB

maybe using CDN would help?

It would -- if your tor bridge (direct connections are censored) is in a nearby asian country.

Sounds interesting. Will ask some members.
I think bts.hk may have interest.
