For an Alpha I think testnet should be enabled and be the only thing supported. This fact should be mentioned in the announcement and by apps like frost. I think that ARKs should also be included. Inorder to keep my nodes connected I have to get updated refs otherwise known nodes stop connecting... On the other hand does it have to be full ark support? If a node I am not connected to offers to swap and could this request included its id? If so swap requests could have two results one a swap, two please resend your connection info. Alternately when nodes swap the connection info could be included and used to update the peers files. This could work two ways. One would add all new nodes, in effect saying if we swap we trust each other, the safer mode would be only update if we previously trusted the other node. Comments Ed Tomlinson
