Unable to retrieve blockchain due to DNS seed issue #2

Hello,

I am encountering an issue where the software is unable to retrieve the blockchain due to problems with the DNS seeds. Below are the relevant logs and details:

Logs:

2025-01-26T20:07:31Z Loading addresses from DNS seed node3.walletbuilders.com  
2025-01-26T20:07:31Z 0 addresses found from DNS seeds  
2025-01-26T20:07:31Z dnsseed thread exit  

From the logs, it appears that the DNS seed (node3.walletbuilders.com) is not returning any node addresses. This results in the system being unable to establish connections and retrieve the blockchain data.

Steps to reproduce:

  • Start the application.
  • Observe the logs during the initialization phase.

Expected behavior:

The software should retrieve node addresses from the DNS seeds and establish connections to the network.

Actual behavior:

The DNS seed returns 0 addresses, preventing the system from connecting to the blockchain network.

Environment:

Software version: BitcoinPurple Core version v25.0.0
Operating system: Windows 11

Suggestions:

Verify the status of the DNS seed (node3.walletbuilders.com).
Consider adding fallback DNS seeds or a way to manually configure seed nodes.

Let me know if you need additional information or logs to investigate this issue further.

Thank you for your support!
