- if knownNodes grows to 20000, instead of ignoring new nodes, forget the 1000 oldest ones - drop connection after sendaddr if too many connections, even if it's an outbound one - if maximum total connections are lower than maximum outbound connections, active bootstrap provider mode - in this mode, check all addresses received before announcing them - so basically it only annouces those addresses it successfully connected to
PyBitmessage
Bitmessage is a P2P communications protocol used to send encrypted messages to another person or to many subscribers. It is decentralized and trustless, meaning that you need-not inherently trust any entities like root certificate authorities. It uses strong authentication, which means that the sender of a message cannot be spoofed, and it aims to hide "non-content" data, like the sender and receiver of messages, from passive eavesdroppers like those running warrantless wiretapping programs.
Development
Bitmessage is a collaborative project. You are welcome to submit pull requests although if you plan to put a non-trivial amount of work into coding new features, it is recommended that you first solicit feedback on the DevTalk pseudo-mailing list: BM-2D9QKN4teYRvoq2fyzpiftPh9WP9qggtzh
