wallet: remove dead hardcoded addnodes #2116
Conversation
Nobody asked for it but I did it anyway. Don't know if this will have implication on Testnet if the added nodes don't run Testnet. Added new nodes and removed dead ones where the hostname resolution failed according to https://addnode.cycy.me

@RoboticMind When doing this I didn't see that ppl would have a problem with it if they already was on the add node page. The only of the added ones I know who is running is CallMeFoxie. Will check if it's OK, otherwise remove. The ones unknown to me will be removed. |

CallMeFoxie is OK with being added by default. |

Summary: Two dead nodes removed. Added CallMeFoxie's and my own to the list. Total number of nodes the same but all are now active. |
After they get added, there's likely to be some higher traffic, so it could be more than they are ready for at the moment. It's at least worth letting them know beforehand in case they want to do any adjustments to their node |
@RoboticMind They are no longer in the commit. |

A bit about addnodes... these are peers that a wallet will aggressively maintain connections to. With eight active addnodes in the default list, nodes that cannot accept inbound connections may not connect to a non-default peer. As we can imagine, this isn't great for decentralization. This list was created to help support peer discovery early on, and it has been updated since, but we should be careful about expanding it. Ideally, we should shrink this list and replace it when we've updated the I have no issues with the proposed nodes/operators, and I appreciate the clean-up, but I don't think we want to add more entries to the default list. Many users won't know or bother to change the configuration. |
@cyrossignol The same number of addresses that was added was also removed, so no expansion have been made in the final commit. Do you suggest just removing the non working nodes and not replacing them? I'm up for what ever is best for the network. |
|
My opinion is full removal of the dead nodes and no new additions. Hard coded seed nodes should be minimized not extended. There are many security implications of running a hard coded seed node that these new operators may not be aware of. |
|
There are no risk that seed.gridcoin.pl that load balances several nodes will take the remaining spots not filled up by addnodes? And if it does, will that not be bad for the decentralisation? |

Afaik seed.gridcoin.pl acts simply just as a dns server. If this is the case then the wallet should only attempt to connect to one at a time. @sweede-se |
|
That's correct--a wallet will connect to the first address resolved from DNS that responds and skip the rest. It looks like seed.gridcoin.pl shuffles the addresses for each lookup to balance the load.
@sweede-se I recommend that we avoid adding new entries until we lose at least a couple more of the existing defaults. The dead nodes mitigated some of the unwanted effect of the list. I hate to say that after you spent so much time working on the PR... The clean-up is surely still welcome, and we can consider adding the new nodes as |
|
@cyrossignol No worries, and not that much time was spent. I'm totally for that the end result should the best for the network, and it seems like we have that solution now. Have made a new commit with the dead nodes removed and no new added. Don't really know why the checks failed. Can someone enlighten me? |
|
@sweede-se Related to bintray returning a 403 for boost depends, making a PR. |
@div72 So I guess it would be ok to mark this PR as Ready for review? |

Don't know if this will have implication on Testnet if the added nodes don't run Testnet.
