Some recent stats again! ![image](https://delvingbitcoin.org/uploads/default/original/2X/9/923a457785b4a4fbf90d8ba6ba53deb67d80b733.png) ![image](https://delvingbitcoin.org/uploads/default/original/2X/1/1484b28f855af3a484b9a4b7fe3bbfe62b7bfa3a.png) > [@0xB10C](#): > > As part of my 30.0rc1 [testing](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/33368#issuecomment-3291550859), the nodes now all run with the defaults decreased by 33106. As mentioned above, on 2025-09-17, I switched the nodes to run with a lowered minrelayfee. That’s also visible in both the reconstruction rate getting better and having to request a lot less data from peers for the cases where we can’t reconstruct. Bob was running with lowered a lowered minrelayfee since 2025-08-22. In hindsight, it would probably have been better to not update all nodes and keep a few on v29 to see how big the difference is (but these nodes aren’t solely for measuring block reconstruction, also for testing release candidates, which I felt was more important). I’ve also been running a v29.1 Bitcoin Knots node `nico` with the default configuration. This node doesn’t include the logging added in [https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/32582](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/32582), so no data on requested transaction size. I haven’t looked into what could caused the low reconstruction rates on `bob`, `dave`, `luke` and `nico` on 2025-10-18. (edit: LaurentMT [suggested](https://x.com/LaurentMT/status/1985334427572904435): “It was caused by transactions with dust outputs.”). --- _[View the full topic](https://delvingbitcoin.org/t/stats-on-compact-block-reconstructions/1052)._
