Digital Ocean account setup

You only need to run the BitRaamd Daemon on the Linux server.
You need set the config file BitRaam.conf with RPC user and password.

The seednodes is for sharing peers not sharing blockchain data.
A node has two modes. Download mode and sharing mode. In download mode the node only receives blocks and doesn't share blocks.
A block switch to sharing mode if the timestamp of latest block received is within 10minutes block target.  
If the node doesn't receive a block within the 10 minutes it switch back to download mode.

You can host your own seednode if you have servers with public static ip addresses.
We can add mire seed nodes and later delete digital ocean server if you want.

Perhaps bitRaam-qt.pro needs x (executable) rights? as it is -rw-r--r--

chmod +x bitRaam-qt.pro

Still "No block source available..." even after rebooting BitRaam wallet software

Unfortunately that is a bit outside of the scope of our support. While I am certainly happy to assist with anything I know and offer any advice that I can, regardless of the scope of our support, I feel that I may not be able to offer any solid advice on what you are trying to do. In that case, I would recommend reaching out to our community as well as something like StackExchange to get some other opinions on this.

Subject: [DigitalOcean Ticket ID:900635] 107.170.170.11 (now 67.205.171.245 ) not pinging
Thank you for getting back to me on this. No output for that command means that nothing is currently listening on port 31415. You would need to start whatever service it is that should be listening on the port. I do not know the direct command for that as I'm not familiar with what you're running.


Thank you for getting back to us on this. You won't be able to ping a port specifically, ping is just ICMP and that doesn't support ports. You can telnet to it, if there's something listening on the droplet for it and the port is open. Both must be true for you to be able to connect to a particular port on a system.

You can test if something is listening on port 31415 with this command:

netstat -tulpn | grep ":31415"

I gather that nothing is listening, since you opened the port, because I can't connect to that port.


Thank you for getting back to us on this. Excellent, that's one problem down at least :)

To open up port 31415, try this:

iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 31415 -j ACCEPT

As long as something is listening on that port (on TCP), that should work.

still not pinging to 67.205.171.245:1315 though


Thank you for getting back to us on this. As Jason noted it is possible for your droplet to block ping internally. We do not block it at a network level. That we can connect to port 9924 on your droplet means that it's public facing internet is working properly. However, you may have (knowingly or not) blocked ICMP in the firewall and thus ping would fail as a result. You can try enabling ICMP in the firewall like this:

iptables -I INPUT -p ICMP -j ACCEPT
 

Now it pings 67.205.171.245 but not 67.205.171.245:31415

Hello,

Thank you for getting in contact with us via this ticket!

I am seeing this is not a network issue, as I can telnet to your SSH port:

[root@reyloc ~]# telnet 67.205.171.245 9924
Trying 67.205.171.245...
Connected to 67.205.171.245.
Escape character is '^]'.
SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_6.0p1 Debian-4+deb7u1
^]
telnet> quit
Connection closed.

I am seeing pings are not working, but your iptables rules might be blocking those out. To be sure why the other port is not working, you would need to check if the service is running and listening on that port:

netstat -plnt

Screens from 2014 issue

Ping seednode.BitRaam.com
Request timed out.

 That said, you may want to make sure that the proFTP service is running. You can use the command below:
service proftpd status
If it is in a status that would require a restart, try this command:
service proftpd restart
