Fellow #Bitcoin node runners:

If you are running Bitcoin Core 26.0 please enable this in your bitcoin.conf file:

v2transport=1

This will enable BIP324 v2 transport protocol which as I understand it causes communication to be encrypted between nodes that have v2transport enabled. I can see from my own node that there are very few other nodes have have BIP324 enabled! Lets bring those numbers up! You can check your own node with:

bitcoin-cli getpeerinfo | grep transport_protocol_type

and hopefully you see a few "v2".

Ill stop being lazy, read the change log and update soon though. V2 transport sounds useful.
