Warn user of network loss #2011

Open stephantual opened 9 years ago

stephantual commented 9 years ago

If you pull the ethernet will the node is operating and mining, it doesn't warn you - it just starts finding blocks in quick succession even though it seems aware it lost all peers all of a sudden.

Is there a way to do some sort of network sensing warning the user they went offline?

To be fair the Go implementation did the same thing so you could say both are in consensus. Ha ha

Oops. What does it mean that it starts finding blocks in quick succession?

when you're not connected to the network you won't have competition in mining so you will be mining consecutive blocks
