those are some pretty nasty latency fluctuations. why use digital ocean in netherlands if you're only running 25 connections, anyway?

No idea why those happen, it might be a routing issue on the checkers. I don't limit the number of connections, once it reached 38 or so, as I said, I don't configure anything on this node.

You mean you wanted to write http://www.time4vps.eu/aff.php?aff=138 ?

It seems like a better deal, for example, more RAM, less CPU, exactly 60Gb is needed for a bitcoin node.

DigitalOcean offers two things that I like: SSD storage (really really important and a time-saver) and hourly billing (I will kill this VM after a few days).

.....(although my node banned only blockchain.info for spam)

Did you find doing this beneficial? I've been thinking of doing something like this myself......

Not sure, it just happened. It's the only banned node on my node.
