15:14:57 <sgp[m]> sech1: why do most p2pool guides recommend disabling dns checkpoints?
15:17:24 <moneromooo> They seem to be synchronous inside the block or tx verigication code.
15:22:39 <hyc> wasn't that fixed in the latest v0.18 release?
15:23:44 <sech1> it was
15:30:14 <sgp[m]> okay, so no reason to disable these anymore?
15:41:19 <sech1> I'm actually running my nodes without disabling it, all fine
16:26:48 <sgp[m]> if someone wants to alpha test our cake p2p nodes, you can try p2pool.cakewallet.com:18084
16:28:10 <sgp[m]> s/p2p/p2pool/
16:28:18 <hyc> what's unusual about them that needs to be explicitly alpha tested?
16:28:54 <sgp[m]> they should work perfectly, but they are hot off the press. So I just don't want to make any reliability promises yet :)
16:29:19 <sgp[m]> uses 6 different nodes, which should be enough I think
16:46:45 <sech1> 6 different nodes with geo dns?
16:57:09 <sech1> sgp[m] you might want to add it to the list: https://xmrvsbeast.com/p2pool/monero_nodes.html
16:57:17 <sech1> "Add your P2Pool compatible Monero node to Monero.Fail to get on this list"
16:57:32 <sgp[m]> <sech1> "6 different nodes with geo dns?" <- yes, 6 nodes with geo DNS, but only 3 regions
17:01:47 <sech1> it doesn't work, port 18081 is not open
17:01:59 <sech1> and 18089 is not open
17:12:15 <sgp[m]> sech1: what about xmr-node.cakewallet.com? I'm getting some errors but it appears to connect
17:14:15 <sgp[m]> oh, that won't work either. hmm
17:15:01 <sech1> zmq port is not open on that one
