Title: Only 467 Nodes in Network? Post by: banque on July 21, 2014, 06:57:18 PM Are these all the nodes in the network?
https://blockchain.info/connected-nodes 467 Seems like a minor amount of nodes Title: Re: Only 467 Nodes in Network? Post by: Meuh6879 on July 21, 2014, 07:15:47 PM use real ... information : https://getaddr.bitnodes.io/

Nodes connected to blockchain.info yeah.https://blockchain.info/connected-nodes 467 Seems like a minor amount of nodes There are enough nodes, don't worry about it.

Bitcoin nodes provide decentralization. The more nodes, the more difficult it would for anyone to shut it down. Bitcoin nodes provide connectivity to the network. If we expect users to grow, nodes should grow accordingly. If the number of users is much higher than the number of nodes, clients may not be able to connect. Setting up a node is one of the most visible ways to support Bitcoin. Title: Re: Only 467 Nodes in Network?

Can't disagree more. One more node is a bit more decentralization of the Bitcoin network. One more is always a difference. Title: Re: Only 467 Nodes in Network?

I'll look into it again as I did quite a bit of research a while back on it and now all of that is lost so I'll have to look at it again. (was looking to host multiple nodes on vps) Title: Re: Only 467 Nodes in Network?

If I just turn on my QT wallet am I not a node...? Title: Re: Only 467 Nodes in Network?

If I just turn on my QT wallet am I not a node...? Only if port 8333 is open... Find your ip from http://whatismyipaddress.com and look up your Ip and port 8333 here: http://www.subnetonline.com/pages/network-tools/online-port-scanner.php to see if its online. or if you are pegged at 8 connections you are most likely not acting as a fullnode. If not contact your ISP and ask them to open up TCP port 8333 . Title: Re: Only 467 Nodes in Network? Post by: Buffer Overflow on July 21, 2014, 09:51:22 PM I run a full node 24/7, but having problems with my ISP keeps changing my external IP address. This happens at random, perhaps every few days, other times twice a day.
This upsets the node, causing connections to drop to 8. Only way is to restart daemon. Then I'm normally connected to 40 - 50 peers. Until they change my IP again.

Every company is going to have their fair share of road bumps...Bitcoin companies are not immune to this. I thought Blockchain.info handled it pretty well...at least they got right in front of it and addressed the public. I don't think they have become the laughing stock by any means...
