@neillm are these community servers still up? https://github.com/libbitcoin/libbitcoin-server/wiki/Community-Servers

They are, but they are unresponsive, so they aren't. For some reason, the firewall (or something) is not permitting access to them. I am moving them over to new servers (this month) that should be accessible at some point after that (likely with a new firewall entirely). Apologies for now.

No worries!

u32Luke03:44

Were you able to submit transactions with them?

neillm03:45

When they were up, yes, of course

Do you have any issues interacting with Core nodes?

neillm03:47

No, but I also didn't monitor logs constantly. I would have a fixed peer that was one of my core nodes, so in that sense, no.

I believe these servers are reachable now -- please test them and let me know. Note that mainnet2/testnet2 is no longer mapped in DNS, but the IP address is the same (72.65.246.84). Mainnet2 and Testnet1 are still catching up:

$ version3/install/bin/bx fetch-height tcp://mainnet1.libbitcoin.net:9081 'WrOzx:DPxBh)R$vL9JEUuclRVx5swjN+v^Xak3VM'
