I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one concerned about the consistent dropping of nodes. Though I think that the fundamental question should be: how many nodes do we really need? Obviously more is better, but it's difficult to say how concerned we should be without more information. I posted

I would point to bandwidth as the most important issue to the casual user who runs a node at home. Few casual users have the know-how to set up QoS rules and thus become quite annoyed when their Internet connection is discernibly slowed. - Jameson On 04/07/2014 11:53 AM, Gregory Maxwell wrote:
