Catalyst.Node.Seed

Seed Node For Catalyst Network

Purpose

Seeding

A seed node is a well known node that allows other Nodes to discover each other.

DNS

The seed node also provides a DNS name server. The authoritative names are defined in the seed.zone file; a standard DNS master file.

To test the DNS server, try this

> start dotnet Catalyst.Dfs.SeedNode.dll -p mypassword
> nslookup -q=TXT seed.catalystnetwork. 127.0.0.1
Server:  UnKnown
Address:  127.0.0.1

seed.catalystnetwork    text =

        "peer=0x41437c30317c39322e3230372e337382e3139387c34323036397c3031323334353637383930313233343536373839323232323232323232323232"
