    You need 3.6.1.0 as it's the only one capable of producing a superblock after the mag boost removal.

    Neither increasing connection or enabling listen, nor deleting the peers file (that is actually harmful) will increase your chances to make a superblock/block.
    And sadly, there are no benefits to you in running "full node", but it can help the network a bit.

    Thanks for clarifying.

      • you can allow via command line more connections (e.g. -maxconnections),
      • or you could run a full node (see fedi: !listen)

        Try deleting the peers file.

          What benefit do you get for increasing connections?

          Are there any disadvantages? increased bandwidth usage, less secure etc?
