Description

Upon reboot, the clien currently only attempts to make connections with the peers supplied as CLI arguments. After ten minutes, peer discovery will kick in and connect to many nodes.

However, you might as well read the IPs from the PeerStandings and try to connect to those as well.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Locate the PeerStandings database module, understand its schema, and modify the boot sequence to query stored IPs and initiate connections.
