Seeing this on one of my public nodes: 2014-07-30 13:13:26 receive version message: /getaddr.bitnodes.io:0.1/: version 70001, blocks=313169, us=162.219.2.72:8333, peer=11847 2014-07-30 13:13:33 receive version message: /getaddr.bitnodes.io:0.1/: version 70001, blocks=290000, us=162.219.2.72:8333, peer=11848 2014-07-30 13:14:21 receive version message: /getaddr.bitnodes.io:0.1/: version 70001, blocks=313169, us=162.219.2.72:8333, peer=11849
That is abusive, taking up public slots. There is no reason to connect so rapidly to the same node. Other seeders are also rapidly reconnect'ers, though the time window is slightly more wide: 2014-07-30 13:09:35 receive version message: /bitcoinseeder:0.01/: version 60000, blocks=230000, us=162.219.2.72:8333, peer=11843 2014-07-30 13:12:42 receive version message: /bitcoinseeder:0.01/: version 60000, blocks=230000, us=162.219.2.72:8333, peer=11846 The version message helpfully tells me my own IP address but not theirs ;p -- Jeff Garzik Bitcoin core developer and open source evangelist BitPay, Inc. https://bitpay.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Infragistics Professional Build stunning WinForms apps today!
