<321bob321> thats all the ips registered to them

<321bob321> AS401476

afaict there is no blanket ban on Spruce Networks, if getting hammered with back ping connects is a new trait of spy nodes that can land you on the list that'd be great cc Boog900 . ive sent the list of spruce ranges on the banlist to their abuse contact page also if no one has done that already

<321bob321> Instant ban spamming my node

<boog900> I just did a scan and the only spies I connected to were the ones already on the list, maybe they have some other ranges only making outbound connections for some reason. These nodes wont be getting txs in the stem state though. > <@321bob321> my node gets hammered with P2P4] WARNING net.p2p src/p2p/net_node.inl:2496 [<none> OUT] back ping connect failed to 69.17.52.1:18080

Thanks boog900

Asn'ophobia toward spruce networks shall not be tolerated unless proven to be a spy node

<freigeist-m:matrix.org> Short comment about the latest "drama" about OVKs...

<freigeist-m:matrix.org> I made an couple of comments here some days ago about this topic before noticing the mud fight that was already happening in Reddit. So without realising I was participating in the circus...

<freigeist-m:matrix.org> And now I can read the various mendacious lines of argumentation and clear misdirections going around even today. [... more lines follow, see mrelay.p2pool.observer/e/xYCM0uAKMU9mOXFB ]

and even if it's not a lie it takes way too much effort to untie things together

Next MRL meeting is adding Carrot to the discussed items and also OVK. If you want to observe these AFAIK it'd be Wednesday at 17:00 UTC @ #monero-research-lab and on libera.monerologs.net/monero-research-lab (it's a research focused channel, so direct questions or other items are better left for lounge or general monero channels)

those visible in that webchat are all actual libera chans?

yes. Though not all of them

Only selected chats are logged via that, others are available on Matrix (and their history) or via third party logs
