Tom, Here is the definition List all the endpoints that this node has hints for, and count the number of hints for each such endpoint.
Returns:map of endpoint -> hint count I would suggest looking at at the gossipinfo to validate if there are any nodes which have that token value. If there is ( there should be since its storing hints ) you should assassinate the node and you should be on your way.
