yeah, i guess it makes sense to completely phase them out from the GUI. something like feather can have that feature. but then again - do more ppl end up running feather and becoming entirely dependent on remote nodes, as opposed to the % that gets the GUI, uses bootstrap, and then eventually has a full node up and running merely because they left the GUI running

well i guess seraphis / jamtis may change things a bit

gingeropolous: I mean father already bundles a list of remote nodes

don't see why they would change that and have more issues for no measurable gain

right. my point was whether we should leave that feature for a 3rd party wallet like feather. but then i sorta talked myself back into leaving it in the gui

it's fine to leave the feature in monerod IMO

there isn't much code involved
