I started with one digital ocean droplet with a multichain chain as per the tutorial. I was then unable to connect to it from the linux box in my house, receiving an error on my command. This shown with debug parameters.

I messed with this for an hour. No dice. NEXT: I decided that maybe it would be easier to remove variables. I set up a second droplet on digital ocean (both in SF1 data center), and set up private networking. I tried to connect the second node to the first...

Any advice is appreciated.

I downgraded to alpha 25, and the problem went away.
