Title: Node count for Alt coins?
Post by: Kprawn on May 17, 2016, 03:49:14 PM
I guess even older members needs to ask stupid questions... now and again.  ;) ... I am doing a presentation for something and I need a comparison chart to show the node count of Bitcoin and most

of it's strongest competitor Alt coins. I think decentralization is very important and a higher node count, might be more beneficial, if it can be reliably measured and authenticated that it was from

different location and sources. Does anyone have any reliable sources or links to node counts for different popular Alt coins, we could combine in one chart? Sorry for the silly question.. but I cannot

get reliable information with basic searching on this topic. Thanks for any resources.  ;) ... I am saying reliable, because I know some of these nodes can be faked. {Virtual machines etc.}

https://bitinfocharts.com seems to have data on some altcoins' nodes and some additional data.

Yea, that was one of my resources, but I do not know if it is very reliable. I was hoping for some new site or a chart already compiled with this data to compare nodes per network. In any case thanks

for your reply, it is appreciated. Is there anyone else with more comprehensive information on nodes in the different Crypto currencies? In any way, it takes no genius to see that Bitcoin has by far

the strongest node count of all Crypto currencies {active or not} ... So I can make my point.  ;D

Node count for Dash : http://178.254.23.111/~pub/masternode_count.png
note : these are full nodes, also known as masternodes.

I think I actually saw somewhere that ETH had overtaken BTC in number of nodes recently. Also, re: dash, how many are run on Amazon or Azure servers? You can parse the list of node IPs versus known Amazon or Azure IP ranges to estimate how many are running on centralized 3rd party VPSs, but I don't think you will find that information compiled publicly and available anywhere.

Here's why your Dash FUD is fucktarded:

Failero FUDsTurds owned again. Market success is proving Dash right every day we have more than quadruple your marketcap. What does the proud strong oak care whether a filthy, stinking pig rubs against it?

Dash has almost as much active nodes (masternodes + active wallets) as Bitcoin

Dash   4125
Bitcoin 5540

Thanks qwizzie, I remember seeing a long list of IPs a while ago, but wasn't aware there was a breakdown by ISP now, I'd only seen that for BTC at 21's site I think. Thanks for not being more of a douchebag, I guess, Macrochip :P

Interesting to see ETH with 2k more nodes than BTC. Too bad they don't break them down by ISP.

Edit: since Macrochip brought it up:
https://monerohash.com/nodes-distribution.html
No breakdown by ISP there either tho...

You're welcome.
Seeing how long, viciously, incessantly and desperately this FUD-lie has been spread against Dash I judge my response to be tame in comparison. I don't need to prove the intensity of the bile and vitriol in question, every moderately active user knows about it. Consider this epic put down as a summary and the only logical conclusion to the pathetically failed two-year-long and yet for some unknown reason still ongoing Monero FUD campaign.
