wumpus / sipa: can you block Dusto-beep
< sipa>
fanquake: did that a hour ago
< nanotube>
wumpus: heya, just wanted to send you a general expression of support. i think you acted prudently wrt the recent csw saga. you do great work for bitcoin. hope the bs you get from internet randos doesn't get to you. :)
< wumpus>
nanotube: thank you! that's long time no see :)
< wumpus>
nanotube: and nah it doesn't get to me personally... not anymore, last time with the social media kerfuffle about blacklist/blocklist i had it much more difficult... but it did make me realize a few things
< wumpus>
nanotube: i am not going to waste my time fighting things in court, it's not what i want to do with my life, i'm happy that others do this, but i just want to develop software and technolgy
< sipa>
wumpus: +1
< gleb>
When we connect to a new (normal) peer, we "Use a 50% chance for choosing between tried and new table entries.". What's the point of this? Always connecting to "tried" seems more intuitive. Or, at least reducing 50%...
< gleb>
I understand we don't have enough understanding and this probably has trade-offs, but maybe I'm missing something completely obvious?
< wumpus>
i think it's a measure against ending up in an isolated fragment of the network? the network needs to 'explore' untried nodes
< wumpus>
why exactly 50% no idea
< gleb>
But we have a dedicated way to explore untried nodes — feelers?
< wumpus>
that is also true
< wumpus>
likely not at the time that code was written though
< wumpus>
btw is it just me or does an I2P node take a lot of CPU time (seems to be hovering around ~13% CPU almost constantly on my VM)

[bitcoin] theStack opened pull request #20993: test: store subversion (user agent) as string in msg_version (master...2021-01-test-store_user_agent_as_string) https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/20993
< MarcoFalke>
Is there a channel for the signet?
< MarcoFalke>
The blocks come in slower than on testnet3 and the faucet is ded
< jonatack>
The signet faucet was dead for me on Wednesday but just worked again for me now
< MarcoFalke>
oh nice, it's back up. Thanks jonatack

For what it's worth, I just wanted to know that whatever support I could possibly offer, is yours if you think you need it, devs.
