Dos ban nodes for sending orphan blocks but still accepts the block!

[rebroad]

code currently still accepts an orphan block that has no parent, but bans the node that sent it. Why? Isn't it better to not store the block since by storing it, all children and generations below are accepted.

Are you talking about https://github.com/darkcoinproject/darkcoin/blob/master/src/main.cpp#L2647 ? I think you're right that should reject the block but not ban the user.

Yes, this line. At the moment, I am seeing a lot of clients not catching up with the blockchain, including mine. It seems that most other clients are banning my client due to this line of code. e.g. I receive the latest block, I broadcast the inv, I get banned from all nodes that didn't have its parent.

Thanks, this was fixed in the last version
