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

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

Is there a way to blacklist nodes?
