Utility to generate the seeds.txt list that is compiled into the client (see src/chainparamsseeds.h and other utilities in contrib/seeds).
Be sure to update PATTERN_AGENT in makeseeds.py to include the current version,
and remove old versions as necessary (at a minimum when SeedsServiceFlags()
changes its default return value, as those are the services which seeds are added
to addrman with).
The seeds compiled into the release are created from sipa's, achow101's and luke-jr's
DNS seed, virtu's crawler, and fjahr's community AS map data. Run the following commands
from the /contrib/seeds directory:
curl https://bitcoin.sipa.be/seeds.txt.gz | gzip -dc > seeds_main.txt
curl https://mainnet.achownodes.xyz/seeds.txt.gz | gzip -dc >> seeds_main.txt
curl https://21.ninja/seeds.txt.gz | gzip -dc >> seeds_main.txt
curl https://luke.dashjr.org/programs/bitcoin/files/charts/seeds.txt >> seeds_main.txt
curl https://testnet.achownodes.xyz/seeds.txt.gz | gzip -dc > seeds_test.txt
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fjahr/asmap-data/main/latest_asmap.dat > asmap-filled.dat
