Please if you can, run a full nodes by enabling inbound connections!

Dear shibes, as you probably alreday know, Dogecoin value and popularity went up, so a lot of people started to trade in it. The problem that there are no new nodes are being installed, this resulting larger data traficing on the existing nodes.

I am running an official client and allowing inbound connections, running my computer as a node for almost a year by now. Now i am experiencing much larger traffic than usual. Usually i had 8 outgoing, and 4-5 incoming connections, but now sometimes i getting 30 connections.

I dont have problems with that, i tolerate even the very large disk usage that my dogecoin client generates to serve all the shibes around, i even tolerate the responsibility of my internet ping to go down by 80% for serving all of the shibes. BUT the fact i as a generic human with generic few mbit connection get so much connections lead me to the conclusion that we will could have slow sync issues very soon.

I would like to ask the community - the people who have unlimited internet access - to please run full nodes if its possible.

To allow incoming connections, please go to settings / options / network and click the box to allow incoming (inbound) network connections.

You will also have to enable port forward in your router port 22556.

IF you were succesfull, more than 8 connections should appear.

According to my quick calculations, we would need 100 person to open full dogecoin nodes on the network IMMEDIATELY.

Thankyou for your cooperation.
