<rucknium> A node being in your white_list doesn't imply that you have a current connection to that node. Misleading methodology IMHO.

<rucknium> Also it doesn't cite the most relevant recent paper: Gao, Y., Piškorec, M., Zhang, Y., Vallarano, N., & Tessone, C. J. (2025). Charting the Uncharted: The Landscape of Monero Peer-to-Peer Network. moneroresearch.info/267

<rucknium> @dnvie:matrix.org: Will you attend the MRL meeting tomorrow at 17:00 UTC? I've put MoneroVis on the agenda: monero-project/meta #1458

<dnvie:matrix.org> @rucknium: Yes

<rucknium> @rbrunner7:monero.social: Can you attend the meeting tomorrow to help with discussions about Shi et al. (2026) "Are Unreachable Nodes Truly Safe? Fully Eclipsing Monero’s P2P Network!" (arxiv.org/pdf/2609.10260) ? Your experience working with the peerlists would help IMHO. It's the last agenda item.

<rucknium> @boog900:monero.social: Same question to you.

<boog900> Yes I can
