Title: Well, is it just me? Bitcoin XT
Post by: GriffinHeart on August 29, 2015, 09:53:59 PM
Looking through my peers in bitcoin core's debug window and I've noticed that the core clients give me all the normal info...
IP, Client version, ping etc. I've found user on bitcoin XT and I'm not getting a ping count.
Bitcoin XT is infamous, is it just me that isn't getting the ping for XT clients or is something more... Disingenuous taking place?

Spam XT ... well, try to mine instead of play "little" and you see what is "SPAM" bandwith with old client sended :
- already send input
- dust
- free rate limiter

Shit hit the fan like that :

I've left it at 8 standard, there is a different XT client up and it's giving me it's ping.
Just looks like one shady guy running around with XT.

So you're just leeching the network?

No! I mine and I run 2 full nodes. I got an old server and run my main node through there, make no mistake. The point is something fishy is going on around the XT client. It's a big topic right now.
