addnode

addnode "node" "command" ( v2transport ) Attempts to add or remove a node from the addnode list. Or try a connection to a node once. Nodes added using addnode (or -connect) are protected from DoS disconnection and are not required to be full nodes/support SegWit as other outbound peers are (though such peers will not be synced from). Addnode connections are limited to 8 at a time and are counted separately from the -maxconnections limit. Arguments: 1. node (string, required) The address of the peer to connect to 2. command (string, required) 'add' to add a node to the list, 'remove' to remove a node from the list, 'onetry' to try a connection to the node once 3. v2transport (boolean, optional, default=set by -v2transport) Attempt to connect using BIP324 v2 transport protocol (ignored for 'remove' command) Result: null (json null) Examples: > bitcoin-cli addnode "192.168.0.6:8333" "onetry" true > curl --user myusername --data-binary '{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": "curltest", "method": "addnode", "params": ["192.168.0.6:8333", "onetry" true]}' -H 'content-type: application/json' http://127.0.0.1:8332/

Signature
