Summary0003685: Receiving many useless HELLOs through gossip frequently with peer IDs starting with Z
DescriptionI don't know if HELLOs are getting corrupted or if these are actual peer IDs that someone generated. They don't seem to have any transport addresses, so they are never verified and written to peerinfo's store. I don't know if these are being actively created/corrupted or if they are just zombie HELLOs that stay on the network because enough peers are keeping them in RAM and gossiping about them.

We clearly need to disable gossiping without addresses, and not store information in peerinfo about peers without addresses. (This used to be different in the past, when we needed the public keys, but now with public keys being the addresses, we really don't need to store address-less HELLOs)

SVN 35297 should at least lessen the issue: transport no longer reports address-less HELLOs to peerinfo.

I don't see a problem with Z-peers in SVN HEAD anymore.
