No, we have more than one addnode domain in there, and anyone can volunteer to add more addnodes, and the wallet supports dns seeds, etc, you should really read up on DNS seeds in bitcoin.

But I guess the main point I want to make is:  if cloudflare goes down and the biblepay.org domain is hijacked, no one is stuck, because the peers.dat would be populated - most of the time a new node will just ask the network for *any* peer in IRC, we just need 1 working node;

Anyway to make it even more resilient ill add a few of my Sancs IPs in the core wallet.  This only affects a brand new node who has never contacted a peer.


I was referring specifically to using the biblepay.org subdomains for all the default nodes...

Yes technically there are many, but if the newbie seeds are controlled by a single master,  or if one of the key nodes gets hijacked (chain forked) or some other issue it could cause an issue..

I'm not trying to nit pick,  I just think it would be better to have more options so it is more secure in the long-run.

As for the "only time", this happened a lot the past week when there were sync issues, and people had to basically restart their clients...  Honestly I am trying to help, if you would prefer I keep quiet then I can do that.
