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]].

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.
[[Bitcoin Core]] versions prior to 0.8.0 also could send [[IP Transactions]] to these nodes. If you included your bitcoin address in the "message" field, you might have had your coins back.

=== Tor network ===


To use tor .onion addresses ([[Fallback_Nodes#Tor_nodes|listed below]]), you need to map virtual ips via the ''torrc'' file:
BitcoinCore will automatically use Tor if it is available at default (''127.0.0.1:9050''), to use Bitcoin-Qt over Tor hidden services '''only''', in a terminal/console enter:
bitcoin-qt -proxy=127.0.0.1:9050 -onlynet=tor


  mapaddress 192.0.2.2 ijzt2eeizty3p5xe.onion
To use Bitcoin with one specific Tor node, run
mapaddress 192.0.2.3 j43z65b6r2usg3vk.onion
  bitcoin-qt -proxy=127.0.0.1:9050 -connect=abcde.onion
mapaddress 192.0.2.4 pvuif6nonbhj3o3r.onion
, where abcde.onion needs to be substituted with one of the [[Fallback_Nodes#Tor_nodes|Tor nodes below]]. These parameters can be added to [[Running_Bitcoin#Bitcoin.conf_Configuration_File|bitcoin.conf]] to make them permanent.


And then put these IPs in your bitcoin.conf (or run bitcoin with -connect)
More details on how to execute BitcoinCore with Tor see [[Setting_up_a_Tor_hidden_service|Setting up a Tor hidden service]]. You can find detailed information on running clients and hidden services within Tor in the [https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/tor.md documentation].
 
connect=192.0.2.2
connect=192.0.2.3
connect=192.0.2.4
 
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 (reference?). 192.0.2.1-192.0.2.255 is the recommended range because it is both non-routable and compatible with Bitcoin.
 
It is highly recommended that you use "connect" instead of "addnode" so that all of your communications are kept within the tor network.

This is a list of nodes which are considered reliable.

How to use this list

Connect to nodes

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.

Nodes without a fixed ip

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.

In order to enable hostname lookups for the -addnode and -connect parameters, you must additionally provide the -dns parameter. Example: 

bitcoind -dns -addnode=bitcoin.es

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: 

bitcoind -addnode=$(dig +short bitcoin.es)

IP Transactions

Bitcoin Core versions prior to 0.8.0 also could send IP Transactions to these nodes. If you included your bitcoin address in the "message" field, you might have had your coins back.

Tor network

BitcoinCore will automatically use Tor if it is available at default (127.0.0.1:9050), to use Bitcoin-Qt over Tor hidden services only, in a terminal/console enter: 

bitcoin-qt -proxy=127.0.0.1:9050 -onlynet=tor

To use Bitcoin with one specific Tor node, run 

bitcoin-qt -proxy=127.0.0.1:9050 -connect=abcde.onion

, where abcde.onion needs to be substituted with one of the Tor nodes below. These parameters can be added to bitcoin.conf to make them permanent.

More details on how to execute BitcoinCore with Tor see Setting up a Tor hidden service. You can find detailed information on running clients and hidden services within Tor in the documentation.

Adding a node

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 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 END NODELIST line: 

|-
| ip || your name
