How To Reduce Bandwidth

Peer settings is the most significant factor

You will need to make changes to your json settings

  1. Stop the core
  2. Modify json settings
  3. Start the core (for these changes to take effect)

How To Reduce Peers

You can reduce peers as follows: 

{
“minBlockchainPeers": 5,
"maxPeers": 7
}

Please note: 1) bracket placement and 2) the last command does NOT have a comma after it, while all of the others DO have a comma.

Blocking Spammers

Additionally, you can always block users within the UI. If we experience users spamming Q-Chat (meaning they are posting the same message multiple times), you are able to block the account:
