I'm going to add trusted peers list next to well-known peers. U'll be able to create a mini-cluster that shares all the data. Need to think how to implement it in the best way though.

In another words wasting kWh and amortizing you chips (CPU, GPU or even using special types of chips built for one single purpose...) = paying eq. amount of money (which always eq. to human-hours with a few remarks).

wellKnownPeers is getting a little crowded with 30 names! I'm interested in this cluster idea.

Ok, I am just trying to set up a simple guide for users who can't operate in linux at all, so too many options would look too complicated.


One observation.
I downloaded a fresh version of NXT to my home PC, installed with default settings, blockchain synced from 0, all good.

But Active peers tab shows only 14 nodes. Is that not too low? Is the reason - the hallmark protection?

The reason is low value of maxNumberOfConnectedPublicPeers. It was 20, I set it to 10 in 0.4.4. U can see 14 active peers if 4 of them were with red flags at some moment.

Ok, clear now.

Yeah, CfB delivers! We get new features and settings as promised!

im a bit paranoid about security. i have 7874 open from the router does this pose any risk?

can in any way my coins be stolen while forging cause i have a pc forging 24/7?

is there any downside of not opening this port? blocks seem to download normally with closed

+1. I'm liking a lot how the community rallied back from the attack stronger than ever.
