Title: How many nodes in the network?
Post by: Alley on June 10, 2015, 03:41:17 AM
Getaddr shows 5k nodes.  Bitinfo charts shows 41k nodes.  Whats the difference in these numbers?

One cause of discrepancy is that getaddr displays only hosts with stable IP addresses. This excludes nearly everyone on consumer-level DSL lines which enforce IP change at least every 24 hours.
