The Bitcoin Relay Network is a high-speed block-relay system primarily for miners.It relays blocks around the globe (see map below) in low multiples of global latency (usually 100-300ms, see the ).It is in use in one way or another by the majority of major miners.Please check your client version - anything other than "the blocksize" or "sponsor printer" is broken and will not successfully send or receive blocks!The relay network is donation-supported.It is currently being migrated to an entirely new infrastructure which will cost approximately 50 USD per month.If you find it useful, please consider donating to 1NRuqMJAzUGwvFigukLa3UZqcJXix1dETM.General relay network infomation: The Bitcoin Relay Network is a system of peering between nodes in the network by creating a system of high-speed relay nodes for miners and merchants/exchanges.This system a) acts as a fallback in the case that the public Bitcoin network encounters issues and b) decreases block propagation times between miners.

It is NOT designed to in any way replace or decrease the need for the public Bitcoin P2P network.It is NOT any kind of attempt at centralization, and I still encourage interested parties to establish their own private peering agreements with large miners as needed.The Bitcoin Relay Network consists of a few nodes scattered around the globe, all of which peer with each other.In order to participate you should simply run the local client (it will automatically select the server closest to you).bitcoin mining rig coolingThe current relay nodes can be found at (note that several nodes have several cnames, also see map below) Note that two nodes (Singapore and Siberia) are relay-only and are not available to end-users.bitcoin live price ticker Some details: * The relay nodes do some data verification to prevent DoS, but in order to keep relay fast, they do not fully verify the data they are relaying, thus YOU SHOULD NEVER mine a block building on top of a relayed block without fully checking it with your own bitcoin validator (as you would any other block relayed from the P2P network).ethereum ico terms

* The relay nodes do not follow the standard inv-getdata-tx/block flow, but instead relay transactions/blocks immediately after they have done their cursory verification.They do keep some track of whether or not your nodes claim to have seen the transactions/blocks before relaying, but you may see transactions/blocks being sent which you already have and have not requested, if this is a problem for you due to bandwith issues, you should reconsider your bandwith constraints and/or are peering with too many nodes.bitcoin media markt* The relay nodes will all relay among themselves very quickly, so there is no advantage to peering with as many relay nodes as you can find, in fact, the increased incoming bandwidth during block relay spikes may result in higher latency for your nodes.ethereum tutorial windows

* The relay nodes are NOT designed to ensure that you never miss data, and may fail to relay some transactions/blocks.The relay nodes are NOT a replacement for having peers on the standard P2P network, nor should you rely on it as your only fast block relay method.* Information about when blocks are received is made available publicly on the stats page.The source of blocks (client's IP address) is logged and used only privately to optimize the network.bitcoin üye olmaInformation about when transactions are received and the source is not logged, though individual clients may keep logs about the time they received transactions from the network.For some time I was asking large miners/merchants to request tokens which would be used in the case of DoS to switch some entities to private nodes, however I have largely stopped this practice.If a DoS attack does occur, expect me to nullroute packets from hosts which have never been the first to provide a block to the network.
