I'm experimenting with signet by creating a custom network with a script of my own to validate blocks (signetchallenge
in the conf file).
I started a mini network with only a handful nodes for now, but I noticed that they connect to each other if I tell them to with a addnode
command (or in the conf file), but then they don't seem to do any network discovery.
To clarify, I manually connect A to B and C to B, but then B never seems to tell either A or C about each other.
As far as I understand peer discovery in bitcoin, nodes should periodically ask each others peer list with getaddr
command, and then try to connect to new nodes. Is there a reason for this not happening on signet?
