Agree. 

So, my understanding is that atm we have no working DNS seeds at the testnet3, right? There are two DNS seeds known, of which one is unreachable atm, and another one is giving just one IP address, which is also a dead node. 

If I'll start a DNS seed of my own and make sure it works well, will this help? 
I've found this DNS seeder daemon, and it seems to be exactly what I need to run a DNS seeder myself. 
So if my understanding is correct, I'll setup a DNS seeds for mainnet and for testnet at bitcoin-seed.alexykot.me and testnet-seed.alexykot.me, and also a well connected nodes for mainnet and testnet on the same server. 
Is this a good plan? Will this all help?


Best regards,

I think the best way to contribute to the infrastructure is actually
what we're doing: Test the current infrastructure and point out where it
is not working. Trying to find solutions for problems.

There is nothing gained by throwing additional hardware at a problem if
the problem itself isn't understood well.
