Walk seed probably conflicting default config

Open CharlieC3 opened this issue 6 months ago • 1 comments

Originally found by @kantai, just reporting it here.

The default value for walk_seed_probability is 10%, however this states the walk seed probably should be closer to 100%.

Furthermore it appears this constant for seed walk probably is unused.

The default value for the walk seed probably should likely be increased to align with the recommendation and expectations.

Not related to walk_seed_probability but also BurnchainConfig::poll_time_secs is set to a test value by default, instead of the suggested one for production.

In case we want to address both
