Blocking Knots Nodes

I’m following up on a comment made in response to BitcoinMechanic’s video Fork:

Currently banning peer connections to every knots node that tries to connect to mine.

I saw the logic that was used in the response:

Every connection from a Corev30 node to a non-Corev30 node is one more connection spam does not propagate.

How can one ban pear connections from other Knots nodes? Is it sensible?

It is currently very manual (you have to watch your peers list and kick any Knots nodes off until they are replaced by Core nodes). I am building a patch for Knots (which I’m calling CoreHort) that will preferentially peer with Corev30 nodes, which will be more effective and way less time consuming. I’ll be releasing that in my video after next (next video is part 2 of Garbageman VMM with some big improvements)

Right, so the idea is to actually connect to V30 nodes.
What settings are you guys using now? Im using defaults except I clicked on the checkbox to block tokens too.

I do the same. The Knots defaults are quite sane.

I have
