I recently compiled the source code for stellar-core (v9.1.0-31-g1380e88) and I'm trying to run it in the testnet, but it doesn't connect to any of the KNOWN_PEERS
, constantly giving me the warning [Overlay WARNING] Received error (ERR_LOAD): peer rejected
and then [Overlay INFO] Dropping peer
. This causes the core to never leave the Joining SCP
state.
Here is part of my configuration file, based on the example config and the docker's config.
NETWORK_PASSPHRASE="Test SDF Network ; September 2015"
PEER_PORT=11625
TARGET_PEER_CONNECTIONS=8
MAX_PEER_CONNECTIONS=12
KNOWN_PEERS=[
"core-testnet1.stellar.org",
"core-testnet2.stellar.org",
"core-testnet3.stellar.org"
]
NODE_IS_VALIDATOR=false
FAILURE_SAFETY=1
UNSAFE_QUORUM=false
I've already seen some questions about peer problems while connecting to the livenet, and this comment is very interesting, saying:
For fresh nodes, that do not have peers tables filled out, if all of their
KNOWN_PEERS
have all connection slots taken, it is impossible to connect. I think that sending list of peers withERR_LOAD
message would help with that issue.
However, I couldn't find any other list of testnet peers, and would like to know what can I do to try connecting in this situation.
