2. the node takes a few minutes before connections show up (it has a integrated dnsseder)
### Configuration
For enhanced connectivity and performance, you can create a configuration file:
optional:
3. on Windows go to %appdata%/Palladium / on Linux go to /home/"user"/.palladium
**Windows**: Navigate to `%appdata%/Palladium/`
**Linux**: Navigate to `/home/[username]/.palladium/`
**macOS**: Navigate to `~/Library/Application Support/Palladium/`
4. create a file "palladium.conf"
5. add the following line
6. "addnode=212.132.102.41
addnode=plm.minecraftpool.com
addnode=89.117.149.130
addnode=66.94.115.80
addnode=173.212.224.67"
8. Restart the Wallet
Create a file named `palladium.conf`. For users running a full node or requiring advanced functionality, we recommend the following comprehensive configuration:
```conf
# Core Settings
txindex=1
server=1
listen=1
daemon=1
discover=1
# RPC Configuration
rpcuser=your_username_here
rpcpassword=your_secure_password_here
# Network Ports
port=2333
rpcport=2332
# Connection Settings
maxconnections=50
fallbackfee=0.0001
rpcallowip=192.168.0.0/16
rpcbind=192.168.0.0/16
# Trusted Nodes
addnode=89.117.149.130:2333
addnode=66.94.115.80:2333
addnode=173.212.224.67:2333
# ZeroMQ Configuration
zmqpubrawblock=tcp://0.0.0.0:28334
zmqpubrawtx=tcp://0.0.0.0:28335
zmqpubhashblock=tcp://0.0.0.0:28332
```
