I’m using the Persisted Peer field that’s mentioned here [https://cosmos.network/docs/getting-started/full-node.html#genesis-seeds](https://cosmos.network/docs/getting-started/full-node.html#genesis-seeds)  
But it says in this log `Error creating peer` (cause: Expected field type 496E74657266616365, got 427974654C656E677468`

Are these Persisted Field values I’m getting from each node okay? Correct string concatenation of values?

looks like right values in the string, if you compare to the section ‘Connecting To Peers’ from these Tendermint docs  
[https://tendermint.readthedocs.io/projects/tools/en/master/using-tendermint.html?highlight=seed%20nodes](https://tendermint.readthedocs.io/projects/tools/en/master/using-tendermint.html?highlight=seed%20nodes)

There’s an open issue for that: [https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/issues/1767](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/issues/1767)

thanks I reviewed the GithubIssue and its solution - so I removed `addrbook.json` and didn’t have any value for `private_peer_ids` in config.toml. Still getting same error.

The instructions says to use the Persistent Peer value (from cosmos explorer nodes) as `seed`, but there’s also a `persistent_peers` field in config.toml so maybe it should go there? If i try that I can get a slightly different error:

```auto
I[07-25|12:28:56.926] Dialing peer module=p2p address=7c8b8fd03577cd4817f5be1f03d506f879df98d8@172.31.0.68:26656
E[07-25|12:28:57.121] Error dialing peer module=p2p err="Error{`Error creating peer` (cause: dial tcp 172.31.42.204:26656: i/o timeout)}"

```

I wanted to find some new addresses to put in `config.toml` but [Cosmos Explorer](https://explorecosmos.network/nodes) is down.

I’ll keep posted

The last testnet halted and the explorer is still pointed thwre. We are bringing the network back up today and the explorer should be available again at that time.
