P2Pool v3.6 was released.

Changes:

  • Avoid unnecessary block broadcasts and block requests to save traffic (works best when connected to v3.6+ nodes)
  • 2 times faster initial sync when connected to v3.6+ nodes
  • Release binaries for Windows are now built with clang compiler (7-8% faster block verification)
  • Tweaked how release binaries for other OS are built, binary sizes are reduced significantly
  • Fixed a rare data race bug that could happen during block verification
  • Added a full source code archive with all dependencies

    I mean, when I try to start monerod, monerod fails to start if sample.net in --add-priority-node=sample.net is down. I experienced that a few times, though it’s just me.

      That would be the case if you use --add-exclusive-node

      --add-priority-node should not behave like that, not sure what the issue is with your situation.

      maybe try deleting your p2pstate.bin file and restart monerod

        I see. Disregard it then, it might have been something accidental. Actually I didn’t check if the node was up or down, so it was just a guess. (If someone happens to experience a weird error where the daemon refuses to start, tweaking --add-priority-node wouldn’t hurt, I guess.)

        Anyway one of the two priority nodes, in a recommended command in README.md, has changed.
