Eric,
When I do node.close() the call blocks for approx 30 seconds.
I presume this is because Node tries to do some kind of clean closure of its peer network connections?
Doing such clean closure is not a Bitcoin protocol requirement really isn’t it - therefore - is there some call i can do to force instant closure, thereby node.close() would mostly be fclose() and thread termination, bringing down the 30 seconds to more like a millisecond?
