Hi,
I'd like to know, how do the bitcoin clients find peers?
I'm wondering if there is some central "tracker" (like bittorrent), but that would seem to go against what I know so far about bitcoin.
Also, whatever this method is, is it immune to abuse/attack.
Another thing I was wondering was whether the network is vulnerable to a Dos type attack using large numbers of tiny transactions?
I hope that's wordy enough for my first post
thanks,
eid
