Network peering discovery - Seed mode - Addrbook.json about gno HOT 3 OPEN

@albttx does this apply also for seeds field? in other words, setting a list of peers under seeds has any impact? Or all the seeding functionalities are completely removed?

@mazzy89 since seed_mode functionnality is dead, setting seeds has no impact :/

from gno.

I don't think it's a question of whether we need this, but how do we not already have this?

Bootnodes are essential to bootstrapping a chain / network pockets, and making sure discovery happens out of the box, continuously.

@albttx, I see the addrbook addition as an easy addition (periodic peer info dump to disk). I'm just curious whether we need this kind of functionality in the first place if the size of the cluster that ultimately needs to be discovered is not even large, and rediscovering it upon boot shouldn't take too much time. What do you think? How much time is actually saved in practice, through this "optimization"?

I'd say full steam ahead on the bootnode (seeds) implementation
