Pin/default node to connect to

The app has a list of nodes to connect to but there is no way to force a connection to a specific node. Even if you added a node manually it's still up to chance to actually use it.

It would be good to have a way to pin a specific node or mark one as default. A way to connect to a specific node from the list manually would help as well in addition to that. This can mean a performance as well as a security improvement since you can force a connection to only the one you trust.

Just popped in to second this issue. When I select a node, I want to connect to THAT NODE every time i open the app. If it's down, iId just like the UI to keep my node there on the main page- it's my default- and show me (perhaps via green or red dot as done in Cake) that the node is down. I don't like when I open up my wallet and my node has disappeared from the main screen (because it's down) and the wallet has something 'Select a node' in its place.

@Forage if you click on a node, that's whats used. why would you have "hearted" nodes you don't trust?

@CryptoGrampy thanks, we will consider this

I wouldn't pin one I don't trust, that's the point. We're both asking for the exact same thing here. A way to use a specific node and only that node, without others being proposed.

why do keep nodes you don't trust in the list?!?

m2049r avatar Dec 01 '21 11:12 m2049r

Because you didn't implement a way to disable the scan which adds nodes I don't need, nor a way to remove them?

remove the hearts
