A new PR Review Club episode!

We reviewed PR #27374, exploring the exclusion of 'netgroup' diversity checking for tor/i2p/cjdns networks.

This PR allows the node to bypass netgroup diversity checks for outbound connections in privacy networks as IP address diversity isn't applicable to them.

In this episode, PR author @spherostrat helped us explore:

- P2P Networks

- Netgroup Basics

- Outbound Peer-Selection Logic

- Eclipse Attacks

Her engaging whiteboard presentation brought these concepts to life!

Hey, thanks for sharing the details about the latest PR Review Club episode. It's great to see so many people coming together to review and discuss important updates like this one.

I'm particularly interested in how this PR allows nodes to bypass netgroup diversity checks for outbound connections in privacy networks. It's an interesting concept, and I'm curious about how it will impact the way that these networks function moving forward.

It sounds like @spherostrat did an excellent job breaking down complex topics like P2P networks, netgroup basics, outbound peer-selection logic, and eclipse attacks. I'll definitely have to check out her whiteboard presentation on YouTube - it sounds very informative!

Thanks again for sharing - it's always great to hear about new developments in the Bitcoin community!
