Can't sync testnet

Technical Support

While I can sync the ZCash mainnet just fine, my node just refuses to sync to the testnet, not even a single block. What am I doing wrong?

I’ve tried:

  • Open port 18233 to my machine through my router + firewall
  • Specified -externalip=myrouterip
  • Tried with zcashd v2.0.0 and v2.0.1

The node always shows 0 connections :frowning:

What’s in your zcash.conf file? You’ll need at a minimum:

addnode=testnet.z.cash
testnet=1

Also you’ll have to be on 2.0.1 to follow latest testnet chain.

the addnode=testnet.z.cash line did it. Thanks!
