Summary

Reduce the mainnet crawl interval from 30m to 15m to improve the freshness of DNS responses.

Context: This change works alongside ZcashFoundation/dnsseeder#31, which adds filtering for addresses older than 2x the crawl interval.

Changes

  • Mainnet crawl_interval: 30m → 15m

Effect

Combined with the dnsseeder fix:

  • Peers are validated every 15 minutes
  • Addresses older than 30 minutes are excluded from DNS responses
  • Maximum stale window reduced from indefinite to 30 minutes

This improves the quality of DNS responses by ensuring clients receive addresses of peers that were recently verified to be running Zcash nodes.

Reduce the crawl_interval for mainnet from 30m to 15m to improve peer
validation frequency. Combined with the dnsseeder fix that filters
addresses older than 2x crawl_interval, this ensures:

- Peers are validated every 15 minutes
- Addresses older than 30 minutes are excluded from DNS responses
- Maximum stale window reduced from indefinite to 30 minutes
