What
Closes #581
Why
Unlike monerod, Cuprate relays old alt blocks. Without this change, peers may receive fluffy blocks for old alt chains that are no longer relevant
Where
cuprated/src/p2p/request_handler.rsHow
Before processing a fluffy block, check if the block's reported height is more than 10 blocks behind chain height. If so, return early with
ProtocolResponse::NA. Copies the pattern used innew_transactionsfor ignoring transactions when we are too far behind a peer.
