I don’t think we should add a lock icon or something like that; there are significant benefits of having encrypted connections on a large scale, but users in general shouldn’t assume that their specific connections are more secure for their specific purposes when they’re v2.

No strong feelings about the lock :-) But can you add the session id?

jonatack commented at 10:30 pm on September 13, 2023: member

Concept ACK.

Am updating -netinfo as well (adding columns to the peer details, and adding P2P_V2 to the upcoming peer services column).

In the latest version of https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/28331 (since the change in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/28331#issuecomment-1721167073 was applied), the “detecting” state can appear in both directions, i.e. the description should be adapted accordingly:

0        tr("detecting: peer could be v1 or v2"),

Thanks! Updated.

Tested this PR with both in- and outbound connections, and it seems to work just fine :ok_hand:

It might be worthwhile to show the transport type also as extra column directly in the table rather than only in the details (useful for e.g. quickly identifying all v2 peers by sorting by type), but that’s not urgent and can probably wait until the first release that has set -v2transport to default-on.

Considering the total number of columns, I believe we should provide users with the ability to hide selected ones.

Ran this branch on OpenBSD 7.3 with Xfce Window Manager, using Qt version 5.15.8. Checked that the new BIP324 labels are correct with two v2 connections (1 inbound + 1 outbound). :ok:

MarnixCroes commented at 7:48 am on October 4, 2023: contributor

maybe only display Session id property when Transport is v2?

nit, everywhere in the BIP they use Session ID (capital ID), maybe use the same
