There are two DNS seeds known, of which one is unreachable&#xA;atm, and another one is giving just one IP address, which is also a dead&#xA;node.&#xA;&#xA;If I&#39;ll start a DNS seed of my own and make sure it works well, will this&#xA;help?&#xA;I&#39;ve found this DNS seeder daemon &lt;https://github.com/sipa/bitcoin-seeder&gt;,&#xA;and it seems to be exactly what I need to run a DNS seeder myself.&#xA;So if my understanding is correct, I&#39;ll setup a DNS seeds for mainnet and&#xA;for testnet at bitcoin-seed.alexykot.me and testnet-seed.alexykot.me, and&#xA;also a well connected nodes for mainnet and testnet on the same server.&#xA;Is this a good plan? Will this all help?&#xA;&#xA;&#xA;Best regards,&#xA;Alex Kotenko&#xA;&#xA;&#xA;2014-05-17 12:39 GMT+01:00 Andreas Schildbach &lt;andreas at schildbach.de&gt;:&#xA;&#xA;&gt; I think the best way to contribute to the infrastructure is actually&#xA;&gt; what we&#39;re doing: Test the current infrastructure and point out where it&#xA;&gt; is not working. Trying to find solutions for problems.&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt; There is nothing gained by throwing additional hardware at a problem if&#xA;&gt; the problem itself isn&#39;t understood well.&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt; On 05/17/2014 02:58 AM, Alex Kotenko wrote:&#xA;&gt; &gt; Ok, what do I need to do?

No idea what&#xA;&gt; &gt;     seeds bitcoinj uses.&#xA;&gt; &gt;&#xA;&gt; &gt;     If you are going to depend on testnet, especially for an important&#xA;&gt; &gt;     demo... contribute to the infrastructure!
