I have 5 active masternodes. I don't think the masternode count is always accurate because one shows 5 and another other shows 23 this morning. It is a P2P system so updates to the network state are slow. Last night I saw 30 masternodes. I am think that increasing the maximum amount of nodes from 8 to 16 or 24 would help.
I am going to change net.cpp:
static const int MAX_OUTBOUND_CONNECTIONS = 8;
to
static const int MAX_OUTBOUND_CONNECTIONS = 16;
I see a different total number of masternodes on different computers. Anybody understand why the count is different? I am looking at the source code to see how masternode discovery works in Sling but any help would be appreciated. Also, it looks like many masternodes have dropped out and sold because my Windows nodes show 8,5,7 and 9 but my Linux node shows 22. Does anyone know the fork history for Sling's masternode code?
Did you get anywhere with the masternode discovery? I'm interested in it and trying to figure it out also.
