- outbound peers now have a rating - it's also shown in the network status tab - currently it's between -1 to +1, changes by 0.1 steps and uses a hyperbolic function 0.05/(1.0 - rating) to convert rating to probability with which we should connect to that node when randomly chosen - it increases when we successfully establish a full outbound connection to a node, and decreases when we fail to do that - onion nodes have priority when using SOCKS
