I love the team work! 

Free trades fix needs to be part of the solution because my seed node fills up and stops accepting connections.  I have to kill it every 15 minutes to keep things working.

since it's a vps, you may as well mine with it.

Actually, we should decide how many nodes we want / who we want to own them (should be distributed among a few people IMO) and then update the pull request.

Any volunteers for hosting seed nodes? Hosting costs will be reimbursed and I can provide a setup script pretty soon.

Built from source with the new change and got some connections right away!

Current droplet at:  162.243.197.231

I used addnode with this IP with the old client and it found some connections right away. So far I've built and tested the daemon on ubuntu. We need someone to build and test the QT client on windows (I don't have a windows machine), and then we're good!

Ok, I'm setting up a DO droplet. I'll report when it's built and blockchain is downloaded. Once we confirm it works, I'll write a setup script and spin up 5-10 instances, then update the pull request with the new IP addresses.

The issue people have is finding nodes to connect to not downloading the chain.

I added a 'churn' option to MemoryCoin to help with this. It allows a seed node to be started so that it maintains outbound connections, but churns (disconnects) inbound connections after 10 minutes, hopefully allowing new users to connect, get a list of good nodes, and disconnect. Small addition to the source to do it.

Here is barwizi's change as a pull request:

https://github.com/InvictusInnovations/ProtoShares/pull/5

If you guys can guarantee reimbursement I'd be glad to make a DO account and spin up some dedicated nodes.

We will fund this reimbursement in PTS from the Angel fund.  As this effort is collaborative each of you must agree as to how to divide the 50 PTS among yourselves to deliver the complete solution.   The solution will be complete when I can post an updated download link and people have a positive experience.

The seed nodes are just addnodes that were thrown around.

If you want nodes you can control, you need only fire up a few VPS and then use them as the seednodes.
As for windows compilation, i am unable to do that part for the time being. Pull request is being refused, please follow link for modified file.

Or do you want a pull request?

I would like a pull request as well as some background on the nodes in the list.  How do we know they will stay up?

I would also like a windows EXE built by someone I trust and who's identity I know.

in protoshares/src/net.cpp

to

static const char *strMainNetDNSSeed[][2] = {
    {"49.89.6.185", "49.89.6.185"},
    {"222.174.212.250", "222.174.212.250"},

    {"175.42.27.186","175.42.27.186"},
    {NULL, NULL}
};

Add more, as you see fit. also maybe get a server online that has high bandwidth, run the client there and add it to this list.
mine connects in seconds with the above.
