Tuning audit scoring

Yeah I do remember that. I actually ended up writing a blueprint after workshopping a possible solution for that with @Alexey in one of the topics where that happened. There’s also a suggestion for that here: Refining Audit Containment to Prevent Node Disqualification for Being Temporarily Unresponsive

I don’t think that can really be fixed by tuning the scoring alone though and the suggested changes shouldn’t really impact this (@thepaul’s numbers just drop the number of audits from 10 to 9, my suggested numbers would increase it, but not enough to actually fix it).

The suggestion I posted above could help fix that.
Alternatively, you could set a lambda value per node based on how much data it has. So that lambda = 1-(1/(number of audits for the node in past 48 hours)) with a minimum of 0.999 or one of the other suggested numbers. This would essentially translate it into a time based memory. But I don’t know if this data is easily available to the process that updates the scores.
