<hr />
<div>This is a list of nodes which are considered reliable. Nodes from this list which are down for more than 24 hours will be automatically removed and status of each node is displayed and updated every hour by [[User:WikiBot|WikiBot]].<br />
<br />
== How to use this list ==<br />
<br />
=== Connect to nodes ===<br />
<br />
You can connect to these nodes with the ''-addnode=ip'' switch instead of the usual node harvesting process (through IRC or via the embedded nodelist). You can connect to more than one node by using ''-addnode=ip'' more than once. It is usually a good idea to connect to more than one of these nodes.<br />
<br />
==== Nodes without a fixed ip ====<br />
<br />
If the node IP is not fixed (see "Fixed" column), you will have to resolve the node's name (first column) each time the IP changes. Some nodes may have their ip change once a day, some others once a month, and some others may stay on the same IP for years. Still, as long as the IP is not fixed, there is no guarantee it will stay the same.<br />
<br />
In order to enable hostname lookups for the ''-addnode'' and ''-connect'' parameters, you must additionally provide the ''-dns'' parameter. Example:<br />
bitcoind -dns -addnode=bitcoin.es<br />
<br />
Versions prior to 0.3.22 do not support hostnames to the ''-addnode'' parameter, so you must do the resolving part for it. For example on linux:<br />
bitcoind -addnode=$(dig +short bitcoin.es)<br />
<br />
=== IP Transactions ===<br />
<br />
You can also send [[IP Transactions]] to these nodes. If you include your bitcoin address in the "message" field, you may have your coins back.<br />
<br />
=== Tor network ===<br />
<br />
To use tor .onion addresses, you need to map virtual ips via the ''torrc'' file:<br />
<br />
mapaddress 192.0.2.2 ijzt2eeizty3p5xe.onion<br />
mapaddress 192.0.2.3 j43z65b6r2usg3vk.onion<br />
mapaddress 192.0.2.4 pvuif6nonbhj3o3r.onion<br />
<br />
Once you have configured and restarted tor, 192.0.2.2 will connect to ijzt2eeizty3p5xe.onion when accessed through the Tor proxy (and likewise for the other IPs/onions). You can then run Bitcoin with -addnode=192.0.2.2, or even send bitcoins to that IP address. You can use any arbitrary IP addresses with MapAddress, though some of the common non-routable ranges (10.*, 192.168.*) will not work due to a Bitcoin bug. 192.0.2.1-192.0.2.255 is the recommended range because it is both non-routable and compatible with Bitcoin.<br />

== Adding a node ==<br />
<br />
Before adding yourself as a fallback node, you should be sure your node will stay online for a long time. If a node is offline for more than 24 hours it will be removed from the list. To accept IP transactions you will have to add the ''-allowreceivebyip'' flag to your command line parameters.<br />
<br />
To add a node in this list, you just need the ip/hostname and your name, the other fields will be filled automatically. Insert the following lines before the <tt>END NODELIST</tt> line:<br />
<br />
<nowiki>|-<br />
| ip || your name</nowiki><br />
<br />
Please note that a bot will connect to your node every hour to check its status and version.</div>Caesiumhttps://en.bitcoin.it/w/index.php?title=Fallback_Nodes&diff=14320Fallback Nodes2011-08-06T22:18:09Z<p>Caesium: /* IPv4 Nodes */</p>

<hr />
<div>Reward types & explanation:<br />
* '''PPS''' - Pay Per Share. Each submitted share is worth certain amount of BTC. Since finding a block requires <current difficulty> shares ''on average'', a PPS method with 0% fee would be 50 BTC divided by <current difficulty>. It is risky for pool operators, hence the fee is highest.<br />
* '''SMPPS''' - Shared Maximum Pay Per Share. Like Pay Per Share, but never pays more than the pool earns. [http://eligius.st/wiki/index.php/Shared_Maximum_PPS]<br />
* '''Prop.''' - Proportional. When block is found, the reward is distributed among all workers proportionally to how much shares each of them has found.<br />
* '''Score''' - Score based system: a proportional reward, but weighed by time submitted. Each submitted share is worth more in the function of time ''t'' since start of current round. For each share score is updated by: score += exp(t/C). This makes later shares worth much more than earlier shares, thus the miner's score quickly diminishes when they stop mining on the pool. Rewards are calculated proportionally to scores (and not to shares). (at slush's pool C=300 seconds, and every hour scores are normalized)<br />

<div>Reward types & explanation:<br />
* '''PPS''' - Pay Per Share. Each submitted share is worth certain amount of BTC. Since finding a block requires <current difficulty> shares ''on average'', a PPS method with 0% fee would be 50 BTC divided by <current difficulty>. It is risky for pool operators, hence the fee is highest.<br />
* '''SMPPS''' - Shared Maximum Pay Per Share. Like Pay Per Share, but never pays more than the pool earns. [http://eligius.st/wiki/index.php/Shared_Maximum_PPS]<br />
* '''Prop.''' - Proportional. When block is found, the reward is distributed among all workers proportionally to how much shares each of them has found.<br />
* '''Score''' - Score based system: a proportional reward, but weighed by time submitted. Each submitted share is worth more in the function of time ''t'' since start of current round. For each share score is updated by: score += exp(t/C). This makes later shares worth much more than earlier shares, thus the miner's score quickly diminishes when they stop mining on the pool. Rewards are calculated proportionally to scores (and not to shares). (at slush's pool C=300 seconds, and every hour scores are normalized)<br />
