Cannot find Core peer list and other gateways don't answer

[isarceaux]

Hi!
I first tried to connect to different gateways to test the chainpoint API but unsucessfully (requests timed out). I tried the test server http://35.231.41.69 and several other IP I found here https://app.swaggerhub.com/apis/Chainpoint/chainpoint-gateway/1.0.0 but none worked.

So I though I would setup my own Chainpoint Gateway to test the service, so I installed it choosing testnet, but then got the following errors:

Core IP 3.135.54.225 not repsonding to peers requests
Core IP 52.14.49.31 not repsonding to peers requests
Core IP 3.133.119.65 not repsonding to peers requests
An unexpected error has occurred : Unable to retrieve Core peer list. Please run 'make init' again.
Shutting down Lightning node...
Shutdown complete

If anybody here has any idea on what's happening and what could solve the situation, I would love it!

Many thanks,

Hi isarceaux,

We shut down our testnet instances after disuse, so 3.135.54.225 is not longer operating. Mainnet works fine; anything from 18.220.31.138 or any IPs listed at http://18.220.31.138/peers will work.

You can probably set up your own testnet chainpoint-core to connect to, if you really need testnet: https://github.com/chainpoint/chainpoint-core

Unless you need to run this infra, you can generally use our public gateways directly, using our client at https://github.com/chainpoint/chainpoint-js.

Let me know if this helps!

The mainnet IP address 18.220.31.138 is now inaccessible. Are there any active node IPs remaining?[error] App : Startup : Unable to connect to 1 Core(s) as required.
Is chainpoint-js also unusable?
I would be very grateful if someone could answer these questions.
