Small script to find good Ethereum peers from public sources and add them to your node via JSON-RPC.

• Fetches candidate enodes from web discovery data
• Prioritizes peers close to your location (same country first)
• Filters low-quality/stale peers
• Skips self + already-connected peers
• Adds peers with admin_addPeer using curl

• bash
• curl
• jq
• rg (ripgrep)
• Node JSON-RPC with admin_* enabled (Geth/Nethermind/Reth-compatible admin endpoint)

# Dry run (preview only)
DRY_RUN=1 RPC_URL=http://127.0.0.1:8545 ./scripts/eth-meshseed.sh

# Live add (default target is 25)
RPC_URL=http://127.0.0.1:8545 ./scripts/eth-meshseed.sh

TARGET_NEW_PEERS=40
COUNTRY_CODE=NO
MIN_SEEN_COUNT=5
MAX_LAST_SEEN_HOURS=72
MAX_PAGES=8

• Uses official mainnet geth bootnodes as fallback source
• Prints before/after peer count and add summary
• Safe to run repeatedly (dedupes current peers)
