I was syncing the ETC chain on parity through tor. Everything worked fine. I got to block 3,000,001. Everything stopped, I realized there was a hardfork. I updated the software (ETH worked fine), but I never could find any peers or sync anymore after that on the ETC chain. I tried version 1.4.10, and 1.5 with fresh installs on linux. Nothing seems to work anymore for parity through tor for classic.

According to these github posts https://github.com/ethcore/parity/issues/4343 it seems that the parity install comes with some addresses of known nodes, but that list is outdated or those nodes are no longer working, and I can't find new ones because peer discovery is done through UDP and tor only runs through TCP. Is this an accurate understanding? If so what can I do to find out about new nodes to add manually by passing their enode URI to --reserved-peers as explained in that github post?

Yes.

As per the issue thread you linked to, you could attempt to add peers (using --reserved-peers) from the hard-coded bootnodes list in the ETC (go-ethereum, not Parity) codebase, located in bootnodes.go.

The list, as of late January 2017, is as follows:

  • How do I actually type that in the terminal though? Like, parity -j --chain=classic --reserved-peers (then do I copy and paste them and separate them with commas?)

  • I've tidied up the list. Copy and paste it into a file, then pass the file as the argument to the --reserved-peers flag. :)
