I don’t think you need to provide peers any more. The list is build into the node software.

That peer almost 100% isn’t there anymore.
Do not use any peers and let your node select them from the bootstrap peers, otherwise with a non existent peer you will never connect to the network
Okay, so the 10 nanos I think I earned I learned about from the discord bot. Strangely when I do balance or status --details in node-manager, I show zero reward balances across the board. Anyone see this happen? Which is correct?
This is the correct behaviour. It will show zero if you put in your discord ID into launcher or set the owner in safenode-manager.
The nanos are automatically sent back to Maidsafe for tallying

Perfect, thanks @neo
Not sure where to put this or who to tag anymore. @chriso can you direct me to the right person or pass it along. And @happybeing might be interested in this concerning over payments.
local network, upload file (4 chunks), upload reported 40+4 nanos total cost, but wallet is 100 nanos down
upload cost 44 nanos total for the 4 chunks, correct, but then I also made the mistake of doing the upload without the --peer option and it tried to upload to the beta network using my (local) client wallet and spent 66 nanos and the upload sat at the line of underscores and 0/4
Background.
- I was looking at local network and the previous version started uploading books but the latest does not - but that is an aside, not anything to do with this
- so I ran safenode-manager local run (if I typed this right LOL)
- used the token getter (cannot spell the tap thingo) to get some tokens
- used safe files to upload a file (<100 ascii bytes)
- generated 4 chunks to upload (why 4 - thats another WTF)
- told me it cost 40 nanos and 4 nanos royalty
- should be 44 nanos taken from my wallet
BUT… - my wallet was down 100 nanos
@happybeing could this be one of perhaps a few reasons why it costs so much to upload your files? - EDIT: the 66 extra nanos were lost when I had accidentally tried to upload the same file to the beta network and the upload stalled for long time.
@chriso the problem is that the uploader says it cost 44 nanos total, yet the wallet is down 100 nanos. The wallet is at 0.999999900
EDIT: I uploaded the file as public using the -p option. Does this cost more even though the uploader said 44 total?
Interesting. It might be related. What I was seeing was to do with uploading a directory so could be a second bug also.
Maybe add your report to the issue so whoever looks at one can look at both: bug: uploading a directory fails due to excessive payments being deducted which repeatedly drain the wallet · Issue #1957 · maidsafe/safe_network · GitHub
Looks like a good catch 
PS They have changed the default sn_faucet build from features="upload" back to features=“gifting”` which is why it no longer uploads books and you can access the faucet for tokens.
Also, I’m pretty sure -p doesn’t affect cost.

Can I pick your brain for a sec @happybeing
I have to add the --peer option to the upload command.
What is the env command to add the peer to environment so I don’t have to specify it each time
export SAFE_PEERS=blahblah
Josh has an example in the OP for his latest Comnet.

I have made a mistake in my above issue.
I had tried to upload and forgot the --peer so it was a weird upload attempt where it just sat there trying, but had taken 66 nanos from my wallet. It was trying to upload to the current beta network but sat where with the line with underscores and 0/4
The odd thing is it still took 66 nanos from the local wallet even though they were for the local network but this ended up being a failed upload to the beta.
I realised I had done this and so I just tried it again and it took another 66 nanos LOL
So its nothing to do with your situation @happybeing but it is something that should not be happening.

Happy to report my MacBook is hooked on Amphetamine. Only because it gives you the option to keep your system awake indefinitely, even with a closed display, and that has allowed me to earn another 10 nanos!!!
It’s a free app and well made. @chriso not to bug you more than necessary but honestly I think using the same commands or tactics Amphetamine does as an option for laptops could be really useful. So many people have laptops and to have them not connected, contributing and earning when shut seems like such a missed opportunity.
That’s all from me. I’m a happy earner now

no harm in starting from scratch, I would wipe it clean and start over using the node-launchpad first, for Linux. The important item is to follow the instructions exactly per the website load up 5 nodes at a time, with small delay between each set of 5 and leave the system up and running for 72hours at least to see what happens. That’s what it took this time around beta wave 2 for me and it worked. Beta wave 1 it was a right off on MS WIN 11 for me.
