| Summary | 0007847: DoS when all wallet try to refresh coins at the same time | ||||
| Description | Instead of wallet doing refresh exactly 3 months before expiration time, it should refresh based on a random value close to 3 months From email > The refresh transaction is automatically triggered by the wallet software 3 months before the end of the validity of a coin. Especially if Exchange > operators charge refresh fees, the fact that a fee may automatically be charged in the background without user interaction is likely particularly > difficult to explain. > But that also means that "3 months before the end of the validity of a coin" will be the same for every wallet since the beginning, > isn't this a self-DOS waiting for us? > I mean, all the wallet with all those coins will try to refresh at the same time. > Maybe refresh time should random time based in a normal distribution with mean expiration_time - 2 month and std_dev 1 month | ||||
