Mainnet was the only chain left on a single endpoint, and that endpoint is our
own node — so a restart on bob took the flagship chain off the site while both
testnets, on two endpoints each, stayed up.
Our node stays first, and has to: loopback pays no network hop, and `127.0.0.1/32`
is the only address whitelisted against its `--rpc-rate-limit 300`. Behind it are
`rpc1-` and `rpc2-mainnet.quantus.com`, both of which answer `archive_v1_*`,
report the same genesis and the same runtime, and accept a `wss://` upgrade.
They took some finding, which is recorded in the template's comment so the next
person does not repeat the search: mainnet uses a different domain *and* a
different prefix from the testnets, its bootnodes serve only p2p on 30333, and
the official explorer talks to a GraphQL indexer rather than to any node at all.
This buys availability, not depth. Failover moves on a transport failure, and a
pruned node answers `{"result": null}` — a success, so a deep state read would
stop at it rather than fall through to a peer that has the answer. Filed as #9.
Closes#8
