hostKatcher
when you download a kast distribution, it comes configured to connect to the following host catcher:
katcher.2y.net : 6085
the host catcher running at this address is a konspire2b-based application called katcher.
katcher maintains a list of hosts that have connected to it recently. When your node connects to a katcher node, katcher passes a host list to your node and then disconnects. Your node then has an up-to-date host list that it can connect to.
we are running the katcher node mentioned above, though you can also download and run the katcher software.
