I'd rather see effort spent on the root issues, e.g. having nodes gauge their own suitability (working inbound port, reasonably current block chain, etc) before becoming advertised listeners. Or more importantly— figuring some way of setting up network simulations which could be used to actually _validate_ proposed changes in this area. I, or many other people, could spout endlessly about attractive sounding network enhancements (e.g. move-to-front peer prioritization, tweaks to peer selection, etc.) but it's all just arm waving without a way to measure it, and the real network is far too slow to upgrade (and important) to test things in situ while testnet is far too small and unlike the real network for useful testing. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Special Offer -- Download ArcSight Logger for FREE!
