Bitcoin Core contributors are weighing whether a thinly used network transport offers valuable insurance or has become a liability too costly to retain.
Key facts
- CJDNS 22.1 introduced DNS-seeded auto-peering on Jan. 8, 2025, making manual peer addition optional
- In the open CJDNS support discussion, Bitcoin Core member Andrew Chow said one seeder database held 25 CJDNS addresses, had reached 22 and classified only seven as good
- Bitcoin is +0.82% over the past 24 hours and currently sits at rank # 1 by market cap
- Those figures have prompted support for deprecation and a suggestion that Bitcoin Core warn users in a 32.x release before planning removal in 33.x
Summary
01 One Bitcoin Core seeder reached 22 CJDNS addresses, but only seven met its stricter good-node standard. 02 Maintainers are weighing a 32.x warning and 33.x removal proposal as CJDNS-only nodes face a shallow peer pool. 03 The debate remains open: CJDNS can add route diversity, but its small address pool raises eclipse-risk concerns. In the open CJDNS support discussion, Bitcoin Core member Andrew Chow said one seeder database held 25 CJDNS addresses, had reached 22 and classified only seven as good.
