Hi Mike, I am glad you are still following up with Bitnodes. The recent spike in nodes count should probably be taken with a grain of salt; run #231 ( http://getaddr.bitnodes.io/231/) does appear artificial to me, i.e. potentially bogus nodes being added. I am still working on a more in depth analysis on the data. There are quite some TODOs for the project at the moment for the next couple of months. I have included propagation data as well into the list. Cheers, Addy On Fri, Nov 22, 2013 at 1:47 AM, Mike Hearn wrote: > Thanks. By the way, your bitnodes site is excellent. Thanks for doing > that.
