>The number of knots nodes i'm connected to has dropped off a cliff. fascinating. >I also ban all aws nodes from my node. surely a coincidence. Are we not splitting hairs? ASmap makes you disconnect/not connect in the first place to a set of nodes, which is defined in the dat file. Maybe it's not technically an (ip) ban, but the dat list acts de facto as a "shun list" the way i see it. Please correct me if i'm wrong.

That is not what it does, it just tries to be diverse across different asans. It's not a shun list.

running with asmap in bitcoin isn't really that important, but using asmap to cluster afterwards to detect sybils is the important thing. i didn't detect and clearnet knots sybils via asmap bucketing
