Yes. That's what I want.
I'm pretty sure you can use onlynet=Tor with some addnode IPv4 addresses.... dunno, been a while
Didnt think about it this way, should work. Afaik addnode just adds a node without further checking the network. IIRC I had some nodes in a local testnet I added via ipv4 but they would show as ipv6 which confused me at first.
So with a good list of static ipv4 nodes this would indeed speed up an otherwise tor only node.
I see. The problem here is I have to maintain a good list of static ipv4 nodes and from time to time I still have to restart the client to make a changed config file with updated addnoses affect the client. Even if a connection dropps for some reason what always can happen, in the long term the ipv4 connected nodes will become 0 and I still have to restart the client over time?
Seems like a "setup and forget"-solution is not possible (yet)? In this case the current status where I just retart the client when I don't like the amounts of different connection types is still the easiest solution?
with addnode, if a connection drops, it'll retry it every x seconds. I think the base retry is every 120 seconds.
There are some ipv4 nodes that have been up 95%+ for years. try http://bitcoin.sipa.be/seeds.txt ... I'd say that's pretty long term
