Boog900 posts second progress report for Cuprate CCS proposal

Boog9001 has posted the second progress report2 for their latest CCS proposal3 to continue full-time development work on the Cuprate4 project:

I also found 1900+ IP addresses running “nodes” that have different behaviour to monerod and are almost certainly proxies to other nodes. [..] From the data I have it looks like 40% of the IPs running Monero nodes are not real nodes and ~75% of the “Recent Peers” from my scan using monero.fails tool were from an IP in the 6 main subnets + some 23.92.36.* that the proxy nodes were using.5

Progress overview

Finished adding alt-blocks to the DB
Completed the initial blockchain manager
Almost completed work on the P2P protocol request handler
The initial cuprated config file + args [..]

Read the full update on Gitlab2.

Consult previous Monero Observer reports6’7 to learn more about the project.

This is an ongoing story and the report will be updated when new information is available.
