Repro Steps

1. Start lotus-daemon

Describe the Bug

None of the official bootstrap nodes are IPv6 enabled. As a result lotus-daemon cannot find peers without having IPv4 configured. Node operators on an IPv6-only network cannot operate.

This is not a feature request; in 2024 this is a bug. There are people out there who do not have IPv4 addresses.

Hey @paul8046! Thanks for the report, I have notified the infra-teams that are running bootstrapper-nodes, and pointed them to this issue-report.

Hey @paul8046!

I just got confirmation from Chainsafe, who are running bootstrapper nodes on both Calibration and Mainnet, that they have enabled IPv6 on their bootstrap nodes without requiring any changes to their multiaddresses. Therefore, I will close the ticket as completed now.

Thanks for the report!
