I am running a Bitcoin Cash node on my server, and starting it like this:
start bitcoind.exe --server=1 --rpcuser=user --rpcpassword=password --rest=1 --rpcport=8332 --datadir=F:\Bitcoin --bind=10.1.0.4 --testnet=1 --rpcallowip=0.0.0.0/0
The node runs, and I can connect to it locally.
However, I can't connect to it remotely, from my C# application, using the BitcoinLib library:
ICoinService coinService = new BitcoinService(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["Bitcoin_DaemonUrl"], ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["Bitcoin_RpcUsername"],
ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["Bitcoin_RpcPassword"], ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["WalletPassword"]);
I am getting this error:
BitcoinLib: There was a problem sending the request to the wallet. System: Unable to connect to the remote server.
I have created inbound/outbound rules in the server's firewall settings, allowing access to the 8332 port, and I think that --rpcallowip=0.0.0.0/0 should allow all IPs to connect to my node... So I really don't know what the problem is.
Edit: I can't access the node from https://bitnodes.earn.com/ either.
Update: the node has finished reindexing blocks, and I still can't connect to it remotely.
You're running in testnet mode (which Bitcoin Cash doesn't have), and trying to bind to the normal RPC port, and bitnodes don't support tesstnet. – Anonymous – 2017-11-16T03:08:28.170
@eponymous I have started it in main net mode now, and bitnodes still says it's unreachable. It says in the logs that it's "reindexing blocks" - will my server be unreachable untill the reindexing is done? – Eutherpy – 2017-11-16T11:15:18.827
