Error: couldn't establish connection to miner: dial backoff

What is the reason？

[xiedapao]

@xiedapao you're more familiar with the libp2p stuff. Would you mind answering this?

[xiedapao]

@xiedapao would you mind opening an issue on GitHub? Having these questions documented in issues really helps future users that run into the same problems.

[xiedapao]

@xiedapao it is hard to say exactly what is going on but your node was not able to reach the miner you were trying to connect to over the network. You should try go-filecoin ping <minerPID> to first see if you can ping the miner.

[xiedapao]

@xiedapao yeah np! Let me know if you can ping the miner. In that case seeing the dial backoff is weird and we should open an issue.

[xiedapao]

@xiedapao If you can't ping the miner than this makes more sense, though if it is a mining node that you control you'll want to understand why it has dropped off the network

[xiedapao]

@xiedapao If you know that these nodes should not be shut down (for example if you yourself are running them, or they are the network bootstrap nodes) then their could be a problem with your node's connection or the miner nodes' connections
