Bitcoin Core automatically bans peers that it sees are misbehaving. If a peer connected to it misbehaves, it disconnects it and blocks it from connecting for 24 hours.As for what misbehaving means, I'm not quite sure. I am fairly certain it has something to do with the number of transactions and blocks it is sending and whether those transactions and blocks are valid. Title: Re: Banned Peers ?

Post by: calkob on April 03, 2016, 10:10:00 AM I only just noticed this morning that i can ban peers indefinitely or for a set time period, Under what circumstances would an average bitcoin user use this? or maybe i wouldn't is it an advanced feature?
