Doesn’t seem like your node is accessible, maybe check router port forwarding or firewall setting

try this command from outside your network to test

❯ grpcurl zec.leoninedao.org:8137 cash.z.wallet.sdk.rpc.CompactTxStreamer/GetLightdInfo
^C
❯ grpcurl zec.leoninedao.org:8237 cash.z.wallet.sdk.rpc.CompactTxStreamer/GetLightdInfo
Failed to dial target host "zec.leoninedao.org:8237": context deadline exceeded
❯ grpcurl zec.leoninedao.org:8232 cash.z.wallet.sdk.rpc.CompactTxStreamer/GetLightdInfo
Failed to dial target host "zec.leoninedao.org:8232": context deadline exceeded

[Lowo88]

Yes, that’s it the firewall setting I keep getting error on everything I try out.
Should I try port 443?

[shayan]

It really depends on your setup and which ports you’ve configured to be exposed/used. If you followed any guidelines go back to it and see if you missed any steps there.

update: given that I don’t get a ping on your domain & IP, my guess is that your firewall (either on the device or your router) is blocking the requests.

[Lowo88]

Ok, I’m going to use Cloudflare hopeful it helps.

[shayan]

Cloudflare didn’t work for me (they don’t have the gRPC support that lightwalletd needs), I ended up using a small VPS to proxy the traffic, here’s what I learned last weekend
(All the docker config files are also included in the same PR as the docs)

Hello @emersonian

How to add my node?

zcash.johndo.men:443

[johndove]

@emersonian is this the right topic at this time to announce a node? Or should I do it on workshop thread you posted in the main post?

Interesting opportunity

I’ll give it a shot in a few days. Starting to figure out how to do that…

Please add my server to Hosh monitoring. Thanks!

Also posted in Workshops Forum.

Not sure if this is the best place for this message but couldn’t find a better topic.

Hosh: Light Wallet Server Status seems to be down, last uptime checks were done 2d 4h . (@emersonian )

[misterzec]

Please add

[alexxiy]

@emersonian Hello! Just had some free time and decided to contribute it to ZEC
I’ve created a pull-request on Hosh github with all the missed community servers at this time.
Hope it will save you some time

[shayan]

Hosh Last Checked is 3d 15h ago again.

I could try to send a PR for a fix if the host can share the error messages or the cause for Hosh halting to check

[shayan]

Hi @emersonian , checking in for the monthly payouts, would they be on 15th of the month or follow another schedule?

[emersonian]

@shayan

Hosh Last Checked is 3d 15h ago again.

This was a bug, when a server took a long time to respond, it blocked all of the others from being checked (we added a timeout, this should be fixed).

We’re working on sending the payouts out now! It’s looking juicy for this month’s reward with the ZEC price action, inspiring times. I’ll post an update here once they are sent.
