So I guess no one noticed the blacklisting in the new 0.13.1 code?

So if you run 0.13.1 you will find that it will connect to other 0.13.1 nodes on the network, but not to 0.13.0 or lower.

i.e. you are disconnecting yourself from the majority of pools, mining transactions on the network.

At the moment that's ~75% of blocks.
Your txns can of course get to the pools via other roundabout ways, but you wont connect to them directly.

Yeah even the main core developers implement blacklists without making it clear they exist Smiley

Kano, your trolling is terrible. You're a disgrace to the technical community for posting this claim.


That's not the idea behind that code, the idea is to make sure that the soft-fork does not cause a network partition. Unless you've got something helpful or insightful to say, shut your mouth

It's not even an absolute connection preference, hence why those running sub 13.1 nodes do connect to 13.1 nodes with free connection slots. You should be ashamed of yourself
