Item navigation feels a bit sluggish, it's probably because of my latest fix. Investigating.

This is one of the things I find most frustrating with the current Knots v Core conversation:

source

Yes, fresh node instances query a hard-coded list of peers to get bootstrapped. But I don't know of any node instance that has a brilliant fix for this solution.

Same goes for writing perfect software. Currently, Core has more review than any other project. If other projects receive the same level of review, I anticipate they will find similar levels of bugs.

But instead of talking about the actual issue at hand, dipshits make it seem like these are issues that don't affect us all.

To be fair, there was plenty of dunking on BIP-110 when a few bugs were found in its implementation.

dnsseed=0

don't I also need to run addnode= and give it some peers. otherwise it will just rely on whatever is in chainparams?

There are fixed seeds that generally will help, but in case that fails, you can just call addnode <peer ip/onion/etc> onetry over rpc.

But I think Melvin Carvalho's comment was about the fixed seeds, he was pointing out that Todd is one of the fixed seeds and so if a person runs a clearnent node, the software will default to connecting to the fixed node seeds, one of which is Todd's. Did I misunderstand?

103 sats \ 2 replies \ @optimism 12h

Hmm I think he was talking about Peter's DNS seed, which you disable with dnsseed=0. But you don't connect to all seeds iirc (unless that changed and I missed it (which would be bad)).

From the 1000 or so hardcoded nodes in fixed seeds, your node picks a couple (randomly) until you have a sizable address book of peers of your own, then doesn't use them anymore.

You can turn that off too with fixedseeds=0.

got it, thanks. But if I do both dnsseed=0 and fixedseeds=0 I would need to provide a node to connect to, otherwise my node wouldn't know how to find a peer, right?

yes, or copy a peers.dat that you already have.

Arkè wallet

₿ 50,000 minimum to swap into the Ark VTXO server

Then that server can bleed your balance 50 bips at a time!!!

I know running a server has costs but sheesh.

I know running a node cost power and I internet but those costs can be somewhat fixed while this wallet will drain more sats the bigger your balance !!

Why not just do a flat fee? cost to run the server plus profit.

@justin_shocknet is right Ark is just a really complex server that is trying to rent seek under the guise of trying to solve custodial problem.

I agree it's very complex...

Damn! It's expensive...

67 sats \ 3 replies \ @Scoresby 18h

That's a pretty messy schedule of fees. The fee layout in Noah is slightly less confusing, but I did notice it and puzzled on it for a minute.

Yeah I like the wallet design but I wouldn’t feel right suggesting this wallet to family and friends.

Plus I hate the minimums. 50k sats just to transfer into the complex server and then they nickel and dime me to death if I’m not spending?!?
