testnet.programmingbitcoin.com isn't responding anymore #245

Open tindandelion opened 2 years ago

tindandelion commented 2 years ago

As of now, May 26th, I can't reach testnet.programmingbitcoin.com on port 18333 anymore. The server isn't responding.

I have the same issue as of 8/7/2022. If I run the first example in Chapter 7, the code fails due to testnet.programmingbitcoin.com returning "502 Bad Gateway".

ValueError: unexpected response: <html>
<head><title>502 Bad Gateway</title></head>
<body>
<center><h1>502 Bad Gateway</h1></center>
<hr><center>nginx/1.21.6</center>

</html>

I have the same problem. @tindandelion @maestrovt Did you guys manage to solve it?

maestrovt commented 2 years ago

@fedetaladriz No, not yet. I have reached out to Jimmy, no response as yet, I will post here if I get an answer.

For my experiments with Bitcoin protocol, I ended up using another gateway: testnet-seed.bluematt.me, port 18333

I managed to solve it for the mainnet (mainnet.programmingbitcoin.com) following this example. The testnet seems to be not working.
