not connecting anymore

[Head]

See screenshot. After the latest npm install the bridge/everything is not working anymore:

Hm, nothing there should have changed. Thanks for the heads up, I'll check it out.

Yep, the [email protected] works. I have to install the bridge 1.3.0 with bitcoin-net 4.3.2 and delete the bitcoin-net folder in the bridge/nodue_modules. Then it works again.

It seems like your testnet webSeeds are all down too. They don't respond in http://websocket.org/echo.html

I think the Let's Encrypt certs expired, and that crashed them. I started rewriting peer-exchange yesterday to better handle relaying to TCP nodes, I expect to publish it today. I'll renew the certificates and put the webseeds back up.

Would you be interested in running a web seed? It would be nice to have the ownership of them less centralized. It only really needs bandwidth, it could run on a $5 VPS.

Oh, you said it is working with 0.5.3? Hm, I'm not sure how you can connect to the webseeds seeing as the certs have expired.

[Head]

5.3 with my local node.
I'm not sure. The crash above is also the local one, without a cert.
It's hard for me to debug what exactly happens because I'm new to nodejs. Worked 15 years with PHP...

I could setup one if I find a decent hoster for node. What exactly do they do? They bridge all traffic from the clients to the Bitcoin nodes? Or do the webclients connect to other clients?

[mappum]

Ah, I never looked at your crash stack trace, the problem is coming from some changes I made a while ago in peer-exchange which I'm unhappy with, hence the rewrite. Migrating to the new version once it's ready will fix this.

😮 Wow! I didn't even know PHP was 15 years old.
