Title: Starting Height 692600??!! Post by: os2sam on May 29, 2015, 07:46:35 PM I was just checking my peers list in my Bitcoin client and I see a node which has a starting block height of 692600. The block chain is only up to 358578 or so at the moment. Anyone know what the deal is with this?
Thanks, Sam Title: Re: Starting Height 692600??!! Post by: fbueller on May 30, 2015, 12:44:46 AM Peers can lie. I haven't checked the code to see if it's directly because of this, but I assume someone is messing with their advertised block height. https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Protocol_documentation#version check the start_height field.

Why would someone mess with their advertised block height? Anyway it's back IP 147.87.116.160 Satoshi:0.10.1 Is there a way to blacklist nodes? Sam |
