(pest) signpost[asciilifeform]: http://logs.bitdash.io/pest/2023-07-16#1028350 << maybe this can be narrowed to commands which specifically indicate a parasite pseudonode, vs a full node issuing prbisms
(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: crtdaydreams: clients which dun actually store the chain are called pseudonodes and simply pollute the landscape. they add nuffin useful to the network (quite the opposite.)
(asciilifeform) dulapbot: Logged on 2021-12-03 15:58:23 adlai: ... the minimal "do not confuse this map for the metaphor's actual territory", is a tandem setup with a cloud of pseudonodes that do almost no verification beyond essentials of parsing protocol frames, orbiting around the trb endothelium

(asciilifeform) asciilifeform: billymg: .27 is a test noad (presently not advertised). .26 is a noad belonging to a subscriber. presently afaik nothing can be done (beyond 'malleus') about pseudonode spammers polluting addr cache
(asciilifeform) snsabot: Logged on 2021-05-09 14:35:15 asciilifeform: billymg: these are known as pseudonodes.

(trilema) asciilifeform: whereas the 4000 or however many pseudonodes making up the claimed heathen net -- simply get in the way.
(trilema) BingoBoingo: "To the network, PseudoNode behaves the same way as a full node by relaying transactions, blocks, addresses, etc. However, unlike a normal full node, PseudoNode does not verify data (txs & blocks) itself. Rather, PseudoNode relies on neighboring peers (with configurable confidence levels) to do the verification on PseudoNode's behalf. As a result, PseudoNode is very lightweight."
(trilema) asciilifeform: in related lulz, according to the above heathen noad surveyor , #1 pseudonode hoster aint lulazon any moar, but : hetzner ( 1029 , vs lulazon's 726 )
(trilema) mircea_popescu: or w/e they called the pseudonodes, i forget.
(trilema) asciilifeform: davout: if you aren't storing the historical data, you are not a peer. you are a pseudonode.
(trilema) a111: Logged on 2017-02-26 19:14 asciilifeform: the 'type 2' (non-verification) blackhole goes right back to the fundamental question of 'something to all comers', how much disk thrashing does a derp get to invoke simply by coming up with a not-yet-banned ip and a pseudonode.

(trilema) asciilifeform: would seem that these are a type of pseudonode / misc. attacker, that comes in two varieties, one aimed at recent prb (majority), the other -- more trb / old-prb - flavoured.
(trilema) asciilifeform: let's say 'pseudonode' is that which one makes, if you have 1,001 boxes with acceptable bandwidth, but small disk. (e.g., a botnet.)
(trilema) asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i've been contemplating the correct way to make pseudonodes. way i see it is, it should still maintain a cache of recent blocks, and have a backhaul to mothership controlled by owner to request signed block checksums, and whole blocks if cache does not find; rather than accepting crapolade from randos
(trilema) asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: when you wrote 'listener', i wondered if it meant something specialized and passive, a sort of pseudonode.
(trilema) asciilifeform: (does 0, naturally, to distinguish pseudonodes from nodes or any of this.)
(trilema) asciilifeform: it is certainly impossible to reliably distinguish node from pseudonode, for instance.
(trilema) BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: In this case SPV is being used to describe garden variety pseudonode
(trilema) asciilifeform: because a 'cloud' node is a pseudonode.
(trilema) asciilifeform: the CORRECT place for pseudonode is...
(trilema) asciilifeform: (and i would argue that any kind of node whatsoever on aws or similar, is equivalent to a pseudonode instance)
(trilema) asciilifeform: at any rate, if mircea_popescu or anybody else wants to run 10,001 pseudonodes, he knows how
(trilema) asciilifeform: !s pseudonode
(trilema) asciilifeform: that'd there be pseudonode.
(trilema) BingoBoingo: Naphex: You know the pseudonode thing runs well in an AWS micro
(trilema) asciilifeform: (for bonus points, pseudonode-on-botnet)
(trilema) asciilifeform: 1) pseudonode 2) collect idiots' coin 3) ??? 4) profit (tm) (r)
(trilema) assbot: PseudoNode can now pretend to be Bitcoin XT. · basil00/PseudoNode@e61ec61 : bitcoinxt ... ( http://bit.ly/1IW2Fyz )
(trilema) btcdrak: did you see this? https://www.reddit.com/r/bitcoinxt/comments/3h78x9/pseudonode_can_now_pretend_to_be_bitcoin_xt/ LOL
(trilema) asciilifeform: for all i know, half of'em are running 'pseudonode'
(trilema) asciilifeform: incidentally, i assume everyone remembers the usg-sponsored outfit publicly parading their net of sybils (based on 'pseudonode' or something entirely like it. student can write equivalent in an evening)
(trilema) asciilifeform: https://github.com/basil00/PseudoNode << obligatory. also in log
(trilema) punkman: pseudonode also useful for DoS experiments and such
(trilema) asciilifeform: thestringpuller: pseudonode works as printed on the tin
(trilema) thestringpuller: asciilifeform: i think pseudonode is kinda like https://github.com/mattdiamond/fuckitjs and more of a comedy measure and not srsbsns
(trilema) asciilifeform: is it having any sizeable listing older than pseudonode ?
(trilema) thestringpuller: i think fullnode is a little older than pseudonode
(trilema) asciilifeform: pseudonode.
(trilema) cazalla: way to butcher PseudoNode spelling
(trilema) asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: pseudonode << mega-lol! >> 'Otherwise, if PseudoNode can connect to at least some good nodes (default 2), then will PseudoNode will acts just like a normal node and contributes network bandwidth.' << 'contributes bandwidth' !?!?!?
