The linear chart shows a moderate impact to the network hashing total. https://i.imgur.com/9q8at.png (http://bitcoin.sipa.be/speed-lin.png) http://bitcoin.sipa.be/speed-lin.png Title: Re: Number of nodes - graph Post by: Anonymous on March 06, 2011, 10:00:25 AM There is a 150ghash supercluster that keeps attaching and de attaching from the network. Is someone renting a supercomputer ?

It's nearly zero at the end of your snapshot, then goes to zero around noon.

Is someone renting a supercomputer ? There are probably network admin who use bitcoin for benchmarking, or idle time. Bitcoin is ideal for Condor in a commercial network environment.

The author of the chart has revised the data reporting, and the chart now looks like:
http://stats.bitcoin.it/rrd/nodes_total-day.png (http://stats.bitcoin.it/rrd/nodes_total-day.png) Because the list of "down" nodes is so easily spoofed, a better metric is simply the nodes that are active: http://stats.bitcoin.it/rrd/nodes_up-day.png (http://stats.bitcoin.it/rrd/nodes_up-day.png) At any time, a snapshot of the numbers is available from: https://smsz.net/btcStats/accepting The raw data is archived: http://dump.bitcoin.it/misc |
