Heads up to TRB users, seems that nodes have wedged on block 618406. A simple restart of TRB seemed to resolve it. Not sure on the cause yet. Will update with more information as I have it.

mod6: the view from my outbound-only node, with some notes: http://paste.deedbot.org/?id=1_pj

Thanks jfw. You've removed 'malleus_mikehearnificarum.vpatch', noted.

mod6: my notion of what that action entails, and please correct if I'm missing a major aspect, is that I'm more exposed to potentially misbehaving or sybil peers, but also potentially better connected and more likely to bridge otherwise partitioned subgraphs of the network.

Your notion is correct on the former, 'more exposed to potentially misbehaving or sybil peers'. As to the latter, I suspect you will be connected simply more prb nodes. It is possible that you'll also find, in a 'subgraph', nodes that are playing nicely, but seems less likely.

mod6: do we have any picture of what software the larger miners are running these days? Because that's the possibly-prb-afflicted network I'd rather not be isolated from.

13:32

mod6

jfw: I don't have any information regarding what miners of any size are currently running.

as far as the public network's concerned everyone's stuck with some version of postel's nonsense for the obvious reasons

the private networks are generally obscure and mostly handrolled ; but they do not differ as much as the people involved like to imagine.

ultimately, alfisms like the 'malleus_mikehearnificarum' are of little political consequence, coming as they are from an ispless band of socially isolated autists.

it could have mattered a lot more, in theory, in 2016. today, having it on or off is ~same.
