Still being connected to the network.<br/><br/>This is a task of counting distinct nodes in a graph. Too bad.&nbsp; <img alt="Sad" border="0" src="/static/img/emoticons/sad.gif"/><br/></div>The connection limit is just a suggestion, you can connect more than 8 clients even without a custom compile. The limit was setup to prevent a home PC from making thousands of connections and overloading "generic" home routers that can't handle that kind of connection state table. Think of the 8 limit as more of a soft-limit for sanity reasons for the typical user of the program.<br/></div>Yes, ofcourse, I meant, you may be disallowed to connect to some nodes by the nodes themselves because they already have<br/>too much connections, so the actual number of active nodes may be larger.<br/>Or how should I understand the connection limit? Is it only an outgoing connection limit?<br/><br/>By the way, I myself run two nodes on public addresses and two other behind a firewall.<br/>The last two are only allowed to connect to first two, and not not the Internet.<br/>AFAIK, it counts as being connected to the network, so they generate blocks.<br/></div> text/html
