> Nodes are by design not supposed to be identifiable in any way

This is of course my objection to BIP150 ("a way for peers to ... guarantee node ownership“).

Please Eric. Stop spreading FUD.

BIP150 has a fingerprint-free **OPTIONAL** authentication. It’s designed to not reveal any node identifier/identity without first get a crypto.-proof from other peer that he already knows your identity.

**Peers can’t be identified without having the identity-keys pre shared by the node operators.**
