Network-maker

To unlock the Network-maker achievement:

  • First unlock the Node-runner achievement, every Network-maker must be running a full node.
  • Configure your local network to allow inbound tcp connections to your computer's port 17331 (default value)
  • Invite one of the Testnet Operators to add your node to theirs.

The operator will use the command ./equibit-cli -datadir=data addnode {your_ip:port} add

Configuring your local network is dependent on your local network hardware and topology. A way to test whether your network and node is configured properly is to attempt to telnet {your_ip} {port}. Additional help may be found on the Internet by searching for help "running a full bitcoin node". The network, firewall, and port configurations needed for Bitcoin are similar to those needed for Equibit.

The default port (17331) is configured in the data/equibit.conf file. You can change this value.
