Adding Active Nodes to Divi Desktop for Syncing

To complete this tutorial, you’ll need the Divi Desktop Application open and a web browser open to access the node list.


Steps to Add Active Nodes:

  1. Prepare Divi Desktop and Unlock Your Wallet

    • Open the Divi Desktop Application.
    • Ensure Advanced Mode is enabled under Settings (go to Settings > Advanced Mode).
    • Open the Debug Console (available in the app's top-right corner).
    • When prompted to unlock your wallet, select a timeout option from the dropdown (choose 10-20 minutes; first-timers give it 20 to allow enough time to complete the process).


  2. Get the Latest Node List

    • Open your web browser and go to: Divi Network Info.
    • Look for Divi Core 3.0.0.0 and click on "Node List."
    • Highlight an IP address from the list using your mouse and copy it (right-click and select "Copy").
  3. Paste or Type the IP Address into the Debug Console

    • Return to the Debug Console in Divi Desktop.

    • To add a node, this is the syntax:

      addnode "ip-address" add  

      Replace "ip-address" with the IP address you copied from the above Node List. For example:

      addnode "123.45.67.89" add 


      A proper response after adding is "null"

    • Important: For users working directly in the GUI (Divi Desktop), the IP address will be enclosed in double quotes (" ").


      • If you encounter errors using the quotes " value is type real, expected str" try entering the command without them:
        addnode 123.45.67.89 add  
        This may apply to advanced users running the daemon core (TUI) or depending on their specific operating system.
    • To paste the IP address into the Debug Console:

      • On Windows/Linux, press Ctrl + V.
      • On Mac, press Command + V.
    • Alternatively, you can manually type the IP address if preferred.

  4. Repeat for Additional Nodes

    • Add 3-7 IP addresses from the list using the same process. Each IP address should be added using the same addnode "<ip-address>" add command.
  5. Close the Debug Console and Wait

    • Once you’ve added the nodes, close the Debug Console.
    • Wait a few minutes for the application to connect to the network and start syncing.

Notes:

  • Enclosing IP Addresses in Quotes: The use of double quotes (" ") is required for most GUI users. However, advanced users using the daemon core (TUI) or certain operating systems may need to omit the quotes for the command to execute correctly.
  • Adding active nodes helps expedite peer-to-peer connectivity.
  • Ensure the IP addresses you add are copied directly from the CryptoID Divi Network Info page.
