It seems my 'getheaders' request is being ignored by peers. I've followed the implementation: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Protocol_documentation#getheaders without success.
If I change it to 'getblocks' then it returns an inv[500] message just fine. But for some reason, it's not returning a 'headers' packet when requesting headers.
I'm connected to over 100 peers, and still no success.
Has anyone else had similar trouble before? Any guidance is appreciated.
The request values are as follows:
magic=3908297187
command=getheaders
length=69
checksum=1021834552
payload=[version=70013, hashCount=1, blockLocatorHash=[00000000839a8e6886ab5951d76f411475428afc90947ee320161bbf18eb6048], hashStop=0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000]
and the encoded bytes are:
e3e1f3e876657273696f6e000000000069000000a4d49d4e7d11010004000000000000002cb0db5d73010000000000000000000000000000000000000000ffff7f000001208d000000000000000000000000000000000000ffff0fa518f420a100ecfbdaa2585542132f626974636f696e6a2d73763a302e302e372f0000000000
Just to note, when serializing, i reverse the blockLocatorHash bytes as mentioned in the wiki.
