I hit this error recently. here's some stuff

Here's the PR where I hit it, I think the solution was something like adding server: true to the config starting the serrver
https://github.com/ssbc/patchbay/pull/299

Here's an issue that was raised earlier which might have more info
https://github.com/ssbc/ssb-server/issues/577

I think ssb-server start probably has some config which is now not working. I've been working to document ssb-config more ... le sigh. cc @Gordon @dominic ?

I had a 6 hour marathon of ssb-bluetooth coding last night, so I'm going to step back from scuttlebutt stuff for a couple of days and focus on day job stuff =p. Do you have the time to look into it @Dom ? It doesn't ~ seem ~ related to the changes I made, right?

In case it's useful, I've consolidated everything that I know about the server option here: https://github.com/ssbc/multiserver/issues/33
