Fellow #Bitcoin node runners:
If you are running Bitcoin Core 26.0 please enable this in your bitcoin.conf file:
v2transport=1
This will enable BIP324 v2 transport protocol which as I understand it causes communication to be encrypted between nodes that have v2transport enabled. I can see from my own node that there are very few other nodes have have BIP324 enabled! Lets bring those numbers up! You can check your own node with:
bitcoin-cli getpeerinfo | grep transport_protocol_type
and hopefully you see a few "v2".
