  • The seednodes most likely perform some function that regular peers cannot due to some valid reason I am sure. This is concerning because if the seednodes are offline then the whole network goes down, thus making the network solely dependent on a server admin. The ideal is to only require seednodes for the bootstrap.


  • If you have a peerlist already then you do not need seednodes in monero, this makes it decentralized. If in haveno you need a seednode every time you join the network then it is not decentralized. The whole point of seednodes is to get you connected to other peers, after the the seednode is not required.








  • Makes sense, thanks.

    Do you know if I already have a good peer list and the seed nodes go down and I restart Haveno will I be able to connect to the network and use it?

    Also would be cool if peers with good uptime could automatically be promoted to seed nodes, not sure if this could even work but if possible it could make the netowrk more resilient.
