|
Utility to generate the seeds.txt list that is compiled into the client
|
|
(see [src/chainparamsseeds.h](/src/chainparamsseeds.h) and other utilities in [contrib/seeds](/contrib/seeds)).
|
|
|
|
Be sure to update `PATTERN_AGENT` in `makeseeds.py` to include the current version,
|
|
and remove old versions as necessary.

The seeds compiled into the release are created from sipa's DNS seed data, like this:
|
|
|
|
curl -s http://bitcoin.sipa.be/seeds.txt.gz | gzip -dc > seeds_main.txt
|
|
python3 makeseeds.py < seeds_main.txt > nodes_main.txt
|
|
python3 generate-seeds.py . > ../../src/chainparamsseeds.h
|
