  <o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> No easy way to unban them w/o scripting or restarting the node

  <o​murad:matrix.org> iamamyth added good context in the PR. Basically `monerod unban 0.0.0.0/0` does not work due to how subnets are handled

  You can also check tests/functional_tests, those start with a new fresh local chain at every run.

  For further forking, as said above, you're on your own :) Too many scam forks to bother helping I'm afraid.

  ah yes! that'll do for a starting point, thanks @moneromoooo

  thus far reading this code i'm learning more about how much c++ has evolved since my schooling than about monero... doesn't look like i'll be forking anything any time soon

  <r​brunner7:monero.social> honeycomb: Monero isn't even that aggressive about using the latest C++ features wherever possible, overall the codebase still leans on the conservative side

  <o​murad:matrix.org> Contributing is a great way to get acquainted with the code :)
