unfortunately I am not sure about that. I am still setting my coin nodes up too. I don't see why not, however. You should be able to just run *coind in addition to the seeder software. Also, I am assuming you have seen this: https://github.com/sipa/bitcoin-seeder

I have compiled my-newcoin-qt and my-newcoind on different platforms (windows, Linux and Mac), with my coin specification based on litecoin.

When I run my-newcoin-qt at the first time, I get no error but the message:

```
0 Active Connections 

```

What should I do as the next step? Should I compile seeder software on VPS server?

**Tags:** client, development, network, altcoin
