The last test run was bestofn with n=3. This time we uploaded to all nodes and not just vetted nodes. We hit our goal for the first time.
Now trying n=3.5 and later n=2.5. Also on the list is to make the long tail a bit shorter like 3-5 extra nodes instead of the current 8.
What I don’t understand is why the unvetted nodes have such an impact. The fact that you get higher load on your node means this is more a side effect. That is something I will question later.
