Yeah but any of these are very likely to wreck your consensus weight situation, and as a result you'll be hard pressed to use the full potential of the 10000 KB/sec cap. The first option will also "ensure" you'll never get the Stable flag. Sure if "that's what you have to work with" then there's no any better options remaining, and of these listed personally I'd suggest the reloading configs one. -- With respect, Roman
