moneromoooWe have had a fairly large number of asshole peers on the network for quite a while enow. I suspect they're spies.
-
moneromoooThey all point to each other in their peer lists
-
moneromoooA good research subject would be... how to ensure that a node selects peers to connect that mostly avoids those.
-
moneromoooActually... simpler: assign a "asshole score" to any peer, which can then be used to inform other decisions.
-
moneromoooIt's been a while since I looked, but IIRC their peer lists aren't 100% identical, just mostly.
-
moneromoooSo some kind of distance metric between peers which looks at their peer lists (knowing that we only receive partial peer lists) might work.
-
moneromoooThat can only be calcualted once we've connected thouhg.
-
moneromoooOther ideas welcome.

moneromoooIsthmus: quantum

selstaAFAIK they also mirror your own block height.
-
UkoeHB_Is the main problem they drop transactions during stem?
-
moneromoooThe main problem is probably they spy on us.
-
moneromoooThe proximate problem is some people get stuck with only those and can't sync.
-
moneromoooIIRC they used to relay txes (or blocks ? this was a log time ago).
-
moneromoooFunny that. A log time ago puts even more more emphasis than a long time ago...
-
zkaowhat is the relation of them being densely connected among themselves and spying?
-
lederstrumpfi.e. what practical advantage wrt. spying would these colluding spies gain by connecting to each other through monero's p2p layer?
