viperperidot[m]Is there any way to know if you are connected to an asshole node so you can ban them?
-
viperperidot[m]My initial sync seems to be taking a long time
-
selstaYou can increase out_peers and limit_down
-
selstainitial sync time is most likely not affected by bad nodes, SSD helps
-
viperperidot[m]I am using a raspberry pi 4b with 4gb of ram, 500gb external ssd, I also have 2gb of swap enabled. So the those are the 2 best options to decrease sync time?
-
viperperidot[m]I will increase those thanks
-
Inge-Isthmus: Did there come out any practical guidelines for people to mitigate any of the potential quantum weaknesses? e.g. using more separate wallets to avoid a compromised public address to unravel more than absolutely necessary or similar?
-
Inge-Block time variance is up a bit since last fork: bitinfocharts.com/comparison/confirmationtime-xmr.html#2y
-
Inge-Possibly due to "hanoiboi" and hashrate variance?
-
selstaviperperidot[m]: it will decrease sync time if hardware is not the bottleneck
-
selstaraspberry pi is not the strongest machine so I would not be surprised about long sync times
-
viperperidot[m]Ok thank you, I have noticed an increase since changing those settings.
-
viperperidot[m]Increase in sync speed that is

binaryFateAnybody knows if any of these authors did any follow-up work or are involved whatsoever with Monero? This was from mid-2018 but I just only found it courses.csail.mit.edu/6.857/2018/pr…u-Macias-Jachymiak-Siabi-Monero.pdf

yanmaani(oops, wrong window, carry on)
-
yanmaaniIt seems like a good defense against eclipse attacks would be to have a large list of nodes to which you probabilistically send information.
-
yanmaaniSo, I contact 1000 nodes and tell them, "whenever there's a new block, send the header to me if rand(0,1000) == 999". And they either say they'll honor it or they won't.
-
yanmaaniI then have a 1-1/e chance of receiving each block, regardless of network topology
-
yanmaaniYou could trivially extend this against network attacks too. "I'll ACK it with key X, if I don't then try to connect to xxxxxxxxxxx.onion instead".
