+1 I support the idea of limiting IP connections. People with CPU mining farms behind a single router will lose out, and maybe there will be other stuff to complain about. But think about this:
Right now, in crypto, you can only get value from being DIFFERENT. Obviously we cannot predict if limiting connections from an IP is good or bad, but you have almost nothing to lose from trying it. Maybe it will prove to be a big solution to stopping concentration of mining power.
That's not what I'm aiming for though.
I see no real problem with concentration of mining power in a CPU Farm.
(though the problem will get much more serious with CPU Pools)
And my solution will not make CPU mining farms behind a single router lose out.
They can still use that one exposed IP to make a hundred or more connections to other nodes.
Nobody will get punished.
I just want to stop this stupid design error that allows predominantly CPU farms to clog and waste available connections that they themselves don't even really need.
This problem right now serves no one, it only hurts the small guy that comes along and can't connect.
