caddr_time_version doesnt exist in > 0.21 about generic-seeder HOT 6 CLOSED

Which coin are you having problems with?

from generic-seeder.

Why my own coin of course :)

It's a BTC 0.21 fork, which doesn't have this field in the RPC API anymore.

I notice your cryptocurrency hasn't been released yet so I'm not really able to test it directly. That being said, I took a look at how the newest bitcoin source is handling the data serialization without caddr_time_version and rolled out a change that should emulate the same behavior.

Grab the newest source, recompile/make the binary and then either remove the caddr_time_version config option or set it to zero and try again to see if this solves your issue.

I'm going to give it a try shortly, thanks!

Thought I should also document out my config. I'm using Godaddy for DNS and an AWS instance. Guessing this is probably a large percentage of configurations. Attached are various config screencaps with respect to NS/A record, firewalls, IPs, etc.

Note this is Ubuntu and I did disable local DNS, so the VM itself cannot resolve names or nslookup

I did edit all the settings to match my chainparams.cpp, etc values. Would love to be able to interactively debug this application - how are you doing it on Linux? I use visual studio for all my development, however this project uses pthreads which makes porting near impossible.

Thanks again for all your time :)

Your dns setup looks fine although it will not return results until you are able to connect to the network and find peers. To diagnose the crawler part of the seeder you can try running without the dns server by not supplying arguments: ./dnsseed. Then just wait a few minutes to see if it finds any peers and if not you should double-check your config and try again.

Truth be told, I've never tried to debug the app interactively, so I'm not sure the best way to get set up for that. I do all my debugging by dumping data to a log file to determine what is happening.
