Title: How many nodes? Post by: sdp on February 12, 2016, 02:15:10 PM Can anyone tell me where I can get reliable stats on the number of nodes on several crypto currencies?
This site reports that as of today there are 40_000 nodes running bitcoin but recently it was reported as 5_000. Can someone explain why there are different? https://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/nodes-btc-ltc-doge-dash.html sdp Title: Re: How many nodes? Post by: achow101 on February 12, 2016, 02:25:36 PM There are no reliable node counts because nodes can be spoofed and not every node owner will want to be connected to the node counting service. I know of several people who have said that they refuse connections to bitnodes.

Bitcoin nodes check these websites: http://nodecounter.com/ https://bitnodes.21.co/ Title: Re: How many nodes?

It is something that we do not often hear about. Thànk you for the links.
