  ~~Make sure `LC_ALL=C` is set when using `grep` range expressions.~~

  Make sure `LC_ALL=C` is set in all shell scripts.

  From the `grep(1)` documentation:

  > Within a bracket expression, a range expression consists of two characters separated by a hyphen. It matches any single character that sorts between the two characters, inclusive, using the locale's collating sequence and character set. For example, in the default C locale, `[a-d]` is equivalent to `[abcd]`. Many  locales sort characters in dictionary order, and in these locales `[a-d]` is typically not equivalent to `[abcd]`; it might be equivalent to `[aBbCcDd]`, for example. To obtain the traditional interpretation of bracket expressions, you can use the C locale by setting the `LC_ALL` environment variable to the value C.

QoS (Quality of service)

This is a Linux bash script that will set up tc to limit the outgoing bandwidth for connections to the Dash network. It limits outbound TCP traffic with a source or destination port of 9999, but not if the destination IP is within a LAN.

This means one can have an always-on dashd instance running, and another local dashd/dash-qt instance which connects to this node and receives blocks from it.
