Unable to connect to the testnet successfully

[leeweezee777]

I went through this documentation and everything worked for the local private net except for the make test_unit:

https://docs.thetatoken.org/docs/setup

The cli example document is good as well illustrating the token transfer. What doesn't work is this document:

https://docs.thetatoken.org/docs/connect-to-the-testnet

When I try to connect, this is what I get:

Tried nc to no avail

nc -vz 54.219.137.110 15872

Is this the correct testnet endpoint? Also is it absolutely necessary that port 16888 is exposed on the node address?

Thanks for reporting the issue. We'll update the testnet config later. For now, could you update p2p.seeds in ../testnet/config.yaml with the following?

p2p:
  seeds: 172.31.0.52:15871

I don't think this will work as what you specify there is non routable. @jieyilong

the same issue persists , that peer looks dead

[jun0tpyrc]

by that we mean https://github.com/thetatoken/theta-protocol-ledger/blob/master/integration/testnet/walletnode/config.yaml#L8 does not work now , so as the new peer above

And does that setup intend to connect to the same testnet as
https://guardian-testnet-explorer.thetatoken.org/ if fixed?
