I compiled the client several times now, got no problem with the testnet. already added nodes from #172
Now I have 1 (!) connection, but still no download of any parts of the blockchain. Needed port are open! Offical pool https://mine.pool.gold/ is offline.
Can it be that it is a probelm to runa bitcoin and a bitcoin gold full node on the same machine, because of a conflict of the ports?

why not provide a p2p seed to download history data about bitcoincore
This connection issue really really sucks. I added all node from #172 and #178, but the client is not able to establish connections to download the first part of the blockchain from gold nodes. adding only btc nodes lead to a sync (finally), but evetually always fails at approx 50% of the blockchain. - bootstrap was o good idea, but only works in an intranet.
Does anyone outside of CHhina (!) have a valid and complete bgold blockchain?
I tried several times now. the best resuts I get when going with the -bootstrap option like recommended from @tankitty. I add up to 15 node (or BTC node), but eventually the download always stopps!
Really really sucks! Anybody an idea?
I put -bootstrap at run command parameter
okay. will try. can I put bootstrap in the bitcoin.conf?
not for me 😕 First of all it can only connect on port 8338, so all Bitcoin nodes will refuse the connectiion anyway, or?
