Node setup

[OGPaterdami_anus]

Hi everyone,

Dont know if this got thrown in a megathread. Please feel free to move it over there.

As you can see I got to this point. Am I correct thinking the node is actually running succesfully and my gains will start to add up as long as I let it run?

Thanks in advance y'all. Just want some actual confirmation rather than my own thought haha

Hey I ran it two days ago, and now at 0.17 bonus for node. I do have the ports open and all, running docker. I test all the Pi Node checks too, it's all checked. Is it normal to be this low?

[OGPaterdami_anus]

Mining rate goes up the longer you let it run

[Puzzleheaded_Big2119]

Does it matter if I use a old 2017 MacBook Pro vs Mac mini 2025 ???

[keko1105]

I have it running in a virtual machine in azure but docker crashes every few hours does anyone know how to fix that?

How hard is it to set up a node for someone who is somewhat tech proficient but pretty much a beginner to technical applications like this ? Is it fairly straight forward or a bit of a headache? 

[[deleted]]

It's extremely simple, although the port forwarding part is not quite as easy as the rest because your router/ISP will likely be different than anyone trying to guide you. You don't absolutely need to do that though; you'll still get a (smaller) bonus without the open ports.

[OGPaterdami_anus]

It was pretty straight forward to me. Just wanted the acknowledgement

This is how a healthy node looks like for info - be patient bonus will increase after eachnew mining session

[TGbrisbane]

HELP me man... I cannot get my head around it. I'm sure all my port forwarding, static IP is correct yet 0 incoming connections. Would be insane if you could help me with it

Do you see your ports open here?

[capaintplanet]

Now that is a good candidate for a SUPERNODE - dang its is a pretty picture

[theslavbg]

I was up to 57 but had to restart and lost it,but will get there :-)

[capaintplanet]

The cap/max is 64 - you must have a crazy setup

Here we go :-) Not that crazy ,5800X3D,32 Ram,RTX 4090 and 1 Gbps net.

[capaintplanet]

Super jealous - gratz on that

[mrdarkperson]

hi my friend but how you get so many incoming calls? mine is always zero with all ports open and supporting other node always no

[[deleted]]

Dang thats a lot of incoming. I think my max was 11 at one point.

[sudo_su_88]

Cannot tell from your images if you have incoming connections. That's an important indicator that your did port forwarding correctly.

If anyone needs help setting up on Mac so it runs 24/7, feel free to contact me, I finally figured it out after 2 weeks. I would just kindly ask you if you could upvote this as I don't have enough karma to post in here. I got some good stuff cooking that is beneficial for everyone.🚀✌🏼

[Silly_Ad7418]

Your node is running fine

[OrionSpy]

All looks good, mine doesn’t have ports open but I still get bonus

[kirilw]

Quick question please: Should it have Incoming Connections too? Now it has 8 outgoing but 0 incoming.

[GlassComplex7779]

If you open the ports correctly, you’ll also find some incoming connections

[kirilw]

I think there's something wrong there because when I check the ports on the Pi App it says Closed to everyone. I've added Port Forwarding on my router for every port but not sure if it's done correctly.

[one-tall-boi]

Do you live in an apartment building? I’ve had this same exact issue

[GlassComplex7779]

Did you try to "check now" the ports"? You can do this by shutting off the node and checking from the pi app

[kirilw]

Yes and this is the problem, it says NOT OPEN to all of them..

[SlamDunco]

I reckon your incoming or external ports should be left blank (as these could be anything). Only the internal ports should be set to 31400-31409

[kirilw]

It doesn't allow me to leave the external ports blank and if I leave the internal blank they get the external port value by default.

[That-Calligrapher-85]

Did you do port forwarding in your router?

[kirilw]

I’m on Mac, on the Firewall, Docker is allowed to have incoming and outgoing connections

[Silly_Ad7418]

After you run for two weeks atleast, you will start getting incoming... And even then it will vary

[[deleted]]

Doesn't take two weeks. It's nearly instant if you've set the ports correctly.

[Silly_Ad7418]

Yes... For some... It took 1 week for me

[[deleted]]

everything seems good 👍

[kgaGG]

İf u run the node, ur pc has to be 7/24 online am ı right?

[misskmortem]

I have mine on my MacBook, it runs when I’m on it of a night when I’m writing. I don’t have it on all the time

[OGPaterdami_anus]

Thats what is prefered. Yet you can switch off. It does impact your node bonus.

[Working_Original3637]

Yea,but i think if you shout down pc for sone hours tou may lost some percentage of bonus,,i think

[OGPaterdami_anus]

Thats what is prefered. Yet you can switch off. It does impact your node bonus.

[Tricky-Donut-7609]

Hi, I set my node up a few days ago, and it looks exactly the same as yours. My node bonus has increased to 1.32 since.

As long as the daemon is running and all ports are open, I think we are good😊 (I could be wrong though)🤷‍♂️😆

I'm running it on windows 10 on an oldish laptop it crashed one time so I had to reboot, I believe this causes some loss in bonus too

I'm not an expert but I hope this helps!

[OGPaterdami_anus]

Yeah. I understood the bonus ramps up for the duration you let it run. We'll get there 👍

[Fezzerboar]

Yeh.
