Be careful out there... The bad actors are now attacking individual Knots nodes. If you have data limits, pay a visit to the maxuploadtarget option (in the GUI under Options -> Network tab -> Try to keep upload traffic under ____ MiB per day - only in Knots)

Good lookin out. Message to the bad actors: 
More nostr posts Luke!!!
Listened a few times to understand the threat...
IBD meaning Initial Block Download?
So intentionally asking residential Knots nodes to send copies of the blockchain to spike their internet usage?
Yes :/
How did we get there?
Call the FBI
It’s sad to see getAlby end up in the sewer sludge. 😑
Ok now this is an excessive move
It sounds pathetic and desperate…
Because they’re pathetic
And desperate
Could just make a config option to fully customize your subVer and anything else that identifies the node and have it spit out something that will not undergo this abuse.
It would also make it impossible to get statistics on what node software people run, but i don't think that is really all that important?
Could anybody tell the attacker IP, ISP etc.?
Are there other ways to block the attacker?
I will follow you anywhere sir 🫡
Couldn't find these settings under my nostr:nprofile1qqs9df4h2deu3aae83fmet5xmrlm4w5l9gdnsy3q2n7dklem7ezmwfcpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsz3rhwvaz7tekd3jks6rev3ehyargv9nk66tnxe6h2dn5w43kuerk0fmnwcm4vfc8z6mgweu8j7fhdfhkjmmrxs6k66mnwg6x2cty9ehku6t0dchsz9mhwden5te0wfjkccte9ehx7um5wghxjmnxduhs5nd6j2 server config?! Network tab?
Will be available in the next release. In the meantime, I wouldn't worry too much abaout it. These guys are just talkers
A practical question: is there a website showing live and historical data on the rates at which various kinds of transactions (op_return>80 bytes) are being mined into blocks, with a breakdown of whether they were in mempool(s) first?
I'd be interested in seeing real numbers on if these rates are changing recently

Please Post more 🙏🏿
We need more education from you
Spamcoiners
Thanks for the heads up!
I think I may have been attacked. My Internet has been super slow like crazy slow and it changed back to normal today. I run knots on my node and use Comcast 🤔
