  we can reduce the DNS checkpoint load frequency from 1h to like 5min, but i don't think there will be consensus for enabling DNS checkpoints by default, too risky

  <o​frnxmr:monero.social> Yeah, we would "only" need to coordinate with miningpools to enable them (and to update to 18.4.2)

  was the DNS delay resolved?

  that makes it quite uncompetitive for mining pools (and p2pool) - as the delay can hit when receiving new data or broadcasting blocks

  the call is blocking, which prevents other things from happening within monerod meanwhile, from what I understand

  I think I moved DNS requests to a separate thread pool in monerod, so they don't stall tx verification

  maybe the recommendation on github.com/SChernykh/p2pool/releases should be removed?

  from cmdline and "--disable-dns-checkpoints is needed to avoid periodical lags when DNS is updated (it's not needed when mining)"

  so at least by default users will be warned, it'd still be up to them to enforce (opt in) or not
