Taking the opportunity of the 0.14.4 release to remind everyone that it's important that you keep your ABC installations up to date before the fork on August 1.

A fork is a special event, we need to bring along as many nodes as possible.

So, you must make sure your node has other ABC peers.

For now, we are only a small part of the overall Bitcoin network, but we need to be as strong and well-connected to each other as possible.

Familiarize yourself with the addnode RPC command , or RPC commands in general, if you have not yet. You can execute these through the Debug console if you are using the GUI , or directly on the command line using the bitcoin-cli utility .

You can find a list of other up-to-date ABC nodes by querying bitnodes.21.co , e.g.

https://bitnodes.21.co/nodes/?q=Bitcoin ABC:0.14.4

Adapt the version number in that string to whatever the latest release of ABC is, to get a listing of network nodes that are upgraded to that version.

If you want to list all ABC nodes detected by bitnodes, omit the final version number:

https://bitnodes.21.co/nodes/?q=Bitcoin ABC

Add some ABC nodes which are fully synched to your active peer list if you have none .

Thanks!
