Title: Where are your full node connections located? Post by: halfawake on July 07, 2014, 01:29:08 AM I just downloaded NetBalancer earlier today to see how much bandwidth bitcoin-qt is using and got an unexpected bonus from it. In addition to shows how much bandwidth bitcoin-qt is using, it also shows what countries the people connected to you are located in. Right now, I have eight connections, six from the United States and the other two are from Canada and the United Kingdom. Earlier today, I tried this and those six connections were also located in the United States. The difference then is that the other countries were Germany and Lithuania. I briefly had a connection with someone in China too while composing this message.
Has anyone else tried this? I'd be curious to hear what other people are seeing for their own bitcoin-qt connections. Unfortunately, it looks like Netbalancer only works with Windows, but there might be another programs that work with other operating systems. Title: Re: Where are your full node connections located?

btw : USA runs about 50 percent of bitcoin full nodes , it's not curious that most of your connections are from USA Title: Re: Where are your full node connections located?

Yeah, I wasn't surprised to see that most of the full nodes are in the USA. I was more curious to see where the ones elsewhere in the world are.

You have a lot more peers than I do. Interestingly, my peer list is completely different now from when I posted originally. Now my peers are: Denmark, Ukraine, Lithuania, Portugal, Germany, United States, France, and Hungary. Title: Re: Where are your full node connections located?
