Is there a way of selecting peers by software version?

August 04, 2017, 06:02:27 PM

I have two chains in two directories, Bitcoin Core and Bitcoin Cash.

I want Bitcoin Core to connect to those using Core software and Bitcoin Cash to connect to those using Cash software.

How do i do that? Using ban/disconnect is so time consuming.

You can't. You could set up a script which checks the list of peers that you are connected to and then bans the ones that you don't want to connect to.

Thank you. Is this worth developers' time to fix in the future?
