Many connections to bitproject.io nodes?

Looks like they have now switched to “signal” for BIP 110 in their subver. :man_facepalming:

These (sybil) nodes make up 92% of the “good” BIP110 nodes my bitcoin seed/crawler knows about: Bitcoin DNS Seeder Analysis

On 2026-03-24 at around 9:20 UTC one of my nodes made five outbound connections to bitprojects nodes. It didn’t have any before. These connections are still active.

I have logs for this, so I can investigate a bit (when I find the time to do so) why exactly this happened.

edit: I had a brief look at the logs. It turns out the node had a brief network disconnect due to datacenter maintaince, lost all it’s peers, and when it came back, it choose to open 5 outbound connection to bitprojects…
