These have a very low TTL set, which is fine.

The DNS seeds using the DNSSEC setup https://github.com/sipa/bitcoin-seeder/pull/85 will renew the DNS zone every hour and have a TTL of 1h set.

The DNS seeder https://github.com/sipa/bitcoin-seeder is only providing long running Bitcoin nodes. So caching for one hour is not an issue.

Not sure. `acceptnonstdtxn` is limited in what it allows. There are many non-standard examples that are not even exposed as a setting.

Oh I see. `--enable-werror` is only set in the CI in this project. Seems fine to leave as-is.

Could this be a race between "clicking on the peer to ban it in the GUI" and "the peer disconnecting"?

Looking at a few of my nodes, I haven't seen any `/Satoshi-BTC(Bitcoin Finance):0.15.1/` peers at all (yet?). Normally, user agents show up Additionally, I don't see any unusual amounts of outbound traffic on my nodes.

Do you know what they are sending to you? Can you post some of the IP addresses or the IP subnet they are connecting from? Do you think this could be targeted to your node? Does your node offer any special services e.g. `blockfilterindex=1 peerblockfilters=1 peerbloomfilters=1`

Does it offer any benefit over the existing workflow with guix attestations? See https://github.com/bitcoin-core/guix.sigs/

I presume every key and every attestation would have to be done twice and then uploaded to two different places? Or can sigstore just download and mirror the contents of the https://github.com/bitcoin-core/guix.sigs/ repo on its own?

Closing for now, but please leave a comment if you have more information indicating that this is a bug in the software, as opposed to a user error, or corrupt hardware.

Not sure. I think it would be good to instead run it in the existing lint task. Otherwise it can not be run locally. (See e.g. shellcheck)

Also, duplicating the exclude list in yet another place isn't ideal.

📝 maciejsszmigiero opened a pull request: "dbwrapper: Bump LevelDB max file size to 128 MiB to avoid system slowdown from high disk cache flush rate"
(https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/30039)
The default max file size for LevelDB is 2 MiB, which results in the LevelDB compaction code generating ~4 disk cache flushes per second when syncing with the Bitcoin network.
These disk cache flushes are triggered by `fdatasync()` syscall issued by the LevelDB compaction code when reaching the max file size.

If the database is on a HDD this flush rate brings the whole system to a crawl.
It also results in very slow throughput since 2 MiB * 4 flushes per second is about 8 MiB / second max t

Took two days, but everything matches!

Best to run this script in a few parallel windows, because after block 790K or so it gets extremely slow.

```sh
./compare.sh 709632 790000
```

```sh
./compare.sh 790000 800000
```

etc

```sh
#!/bin/bash
# Taproot activation: 709632
set -e
TIP=`bitcoin-cli getblockcount`
for height in $(seq $1 $2); do
if [ $height -eq $TIP ]; then
echo "Reached the tip at $height"
exit 0
fi
if [ $((height % 1000)) -eq 0 ]; then
