I don't understand what you're talking about here; if you have no peer at all you will learn nothing about the Bitcoin network.

This could be made further. That the current behavior isn't great isn't an argument for making it worse on that dimension. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Bitcoin-development mailing list Bitcoin-development@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bitcoin-development
