Improve AddressManager address selection techniques

Open svarogg opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

The current address selection technique might take a few minutes before a good address is found. There have been multiple suggestions on how to improve the process.

We'll use this ticket to discuss possible solutions, then implement the ones we decide on.

One thing we might want to do is send connectionFailedCount during address exchange.

A concern I have with this solution is that it might create a situation where some nodes will receive most incoming connections, while newer nodes will be neglected, creating hubs and thus centralizing the network.
