Hi. Got this error today. No idea if it influences functionality:

I just installed the latest ssb server with npm install -g ssb-server@latest with NodeJS v10 and am seeing this error too. Server is not starting.

I'm running https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/timjrobinson/ssb-pub which is built from https://github.com/timjrobinson/ssb-pub with the only changes from @ahdinosaur 's version being using the latest version of ssb-server and NodeJS 10 instead of 8.

"Error replicating with ..." errors can be safely ignored. Although it is odd that it rejects createHistoryStream - maybe it is just doesn't do legacy gossip.
I am considering this error output noisy and misleading because it leads people to think it may be a problem. I'm updating the issue title to reflect that.
