mod6: Heads up to TRB users, seems that nodes have wedged on block 618406. A simple restart of TRB seemed to resolve it. Not sure on the cause yet. Will update with more information as I have it.
jfw: mod6: the view from my outbound-only node, with some notes: http://paste.deedbot.org/?id=1_pj
mod6: Thanks jfw. You've removed 'malleus_mikehearnificarum.vpatch', noted.
jfw: mod6: my notion of what that action entails, and please correct if I'm missing a major aspect, is that I'm more exposed to potentially misbehaving or sybil peers, but also potentially better connected and more likely to bridge otherwise partitioned subgraphs of the network.
mod6: Your notion is correct on the former, 'more exposed to potentially misbehaving or sybil peers'. As to the latter, I suspect you will be connected simply more prb nodes. It is possible that you'll also find, in a 'subgraph', nodes that are playing nicely, but seems less likely.
jfw: mod6: do we have any picture of what software the larger miners are running these days? Because that's the possibly-prb-afflicted network I'd rather not be isolated from.
mod6: jfw: I don't have any information regarding what miners of any size are currently running.
mp_en_viaje: as far as the public network's concerned everyone's stuck with some version of postel's nonsense for the obvious reasons
mp_en_viaje: the private networks are generally obscure and mostly handrolled ; but they do not differ as much as the people involved like to imagine.
mp_en_viaje: ultimately, alfisms like the 'malleus_mikehearnificarum' are of little political consequence, coming as they are from an ispless band of socially isolated autists.
mp_en_viaje: it could have mattered a lot more, in theory, in 2016. today, having it on or off is ~same.
