Please keep in mind:
- the peers/DHT nodes is dependent on the twister user's conditions. So, the numbers can vary from user to user. But I'll list them here as a general idea for you
- IPs of users vary regularly/in certain periods of time

- generating blocks helps to make twister secure
(increases the security of the network as a whole to ensure that usernames are kept safe (not forged/replaced)) - but: you don't need to mine to participate in twister
- also: only one promoted message is shown in your stream
- if you want to see them all you can go there over the menu (switch to promoted posts)
- by me:
upgrading
- You can install/upgrade twisterd also via package manager, see here
twister-core
The steps below assume:
- you have twister-core already installed
- via git
- on a Debian based system
Let's start:
1. go to the dir where your twisterd executable is located:
- cd twister-core
2. update your source with:
- git pull
3. execute:
- make clean
4. execute:
- ./autotool.sh
- ./configure
- (e.g. normally the command above will do all for you. In case there are problems: e.g. if you are running a 32-bit-system use this or similar line: "./configure --with-boost-libdir=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu")
- make
5. also update the theme you use (see twister-html below):
- e.g. besides the standard theme, twister-html includes also NIN + calm theme
notes:
- you could also leave out step 3 ("make clean") + the whole process should be faster
- but: I tend to compile normally all fresh, just in case
twister-html
The steps below assume:
- you have twister-html already installed
- via git
1. go to your twister-html dir, e.g. for me this is:
- cd /home/USER/.twister/html/
2. update
- git pull
3. that was all :-)
