🗒️ Conversation Summary: The bitcoin-dev community discussed a proposed system to punish peers sending wrong information by dropping the connection and banning their IP address to prevent potential denial-of-service attacks. However, there were debates over penalizing "non-standard" transactions and insufficient fees, and the danger of splitting or shattering the network. The community also discussed DoS protection, bad checksums, and potential mem exhaustion DoS attacks. Gavin Andresen plans to simplify the banning system and add a bad signature banning offense. The discussion was moderated to stay on-topic.
