i believe that site only shows "reachable" nodes. which means only full nodes that are accepting incoming connections from other nodes. otherwise this site can not find them.
and besides many nodes aren't ran 24/7. many people are running it on their PC and you can't just keep it running all day.

that is another statement about Japan, he probably forgot to put it in a new line. and no they have no interest in ETF and can't even have interest in it.
and as for bitfinex, nobody cares about their price anymore. price went above $1600 on bitstamp (didn't check other places) 6-7 hours ago.[/list]

use a bitcoin wallet that is capable of suggesting a proper fee for you to get a fast transaction. stop using whatever you are using if it does not.
read more about how much fee is appropriate based on mempool size here: https://bitcoinfees.21.co/
blockcyphey also has a neat suggestion: https://live.blockcypher.com/btc/

haha, that was funny.
bitcoin news sites are all click-baits nothing more. they publish all kinds of crazy things, sometimes even without any backing logic or even some research to make sure if it is true or not. they have been doing some harm to, sometimes they even spread FUD.
and cryptocoinsnews is the worst of them all. they even get paid to publish some stuff in support of some altcoins.

just thinking out load:
transaction fees used to be 0.3-0.5BTC at best before the severe spam attack on network started. price was about $600-$700 (if i am generous with my calculations) meaning ~$300 per block was the bonus reward.

blocks are 1 MB, spam attack is at the peak, total fees are about 1.5BTC per block and price is $1500. miners are making $2250 bonus per block.

$500,000 is 333.33BTC = only 222 blocks fee reward (bonus).

144 blocks are being mined each day!

but it doesn't have the answer to the question you are asking! but i think you should use the restore command in console to restore from a xpub (master public key).

"Restore a wallet from text. Text can be a seed phrase, a master public key, a master private key, a list of bitcoin addresses or bitcoin private keys. If you want to be prompted for your seed, type '?' or ':' (concealed)"
https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/blob/master/lib/commands.py#L122-L127

the link you posted shows blocks, in other words shows support of miners for each proposal and the blocks they mine.
this link: https://coin.dance/nodes shows full nodes that are running different clients hence supporting different proposals.
and a little variance will always be in both of these charts.

that's what scares me! nothing has change and yet price is rising the same way it was the first time ETF hype started and for no good reason. and because nothing has changed, the SEC decision shouldn't have been changed either so the possibility of it getting denied is high. and since price is rising so crazy there will be a crazy dip in case of denial!

and it all postpones reaching $2000, nothing else.

yeah if you have no idea what bitcoin is and what you are doing, you pay 5-6% fee. otherwise for the rest of us the fees are still $0.4 worst case scenario at the peak of the spam attack. and at normal times it is still less than $0.1

there is only one unit and that is "Satoshi"
all the rest of the units are for user interface and you can use whatever you like but in the end it will all be translated to satoshi so better use that to begin with!

p.s. haters are gonna come and say bitcoin is not for coffee...

why do you mean "GitHub is not a guarantee"!
GitHub is a place to share open source code, and when you use a code from GitHub you do the following:
1- check to see how old the repo is and how many stars, forks, etc it has and check to see how many people have contributed, search to see if it is trusted, peer reviewed,...
2- you use your own coding knowledge to go through the code and check it, specially if it is a small code.
3- you run it on an offline OS even if 1&2 are true, for example a live linux distro without persistence while offline. that way even if it is malicious nothing is going to happen to you! because what is going to do? find your password and telepathically send it to the scammer

This may be a good reminder:

Real link is green when you move your mouse over: bitcointalk forum (real link)

Fake link is not: bitcointalk forum (with different/fake link)

p.s. i am referring to the attempt that owlcatz mentioned not the email (obviously )

that is exactly why you are not him!
because making bitcoin was about making "bitcoin" not earning money from it. unlike altcoin developers these days who claim to be starting a new cryptocurrency for the world but instead they use methods like premine and ICO to make money from the project.

and FYI we will probably never find any answers for any of the questions you ask because Satoshi is either dead or chose to stay anonymous and it will stay that way.

p.s. don't miss my question above!

why is it that i always see you on this board talking about your "python script" and i have never seen a link.
so where is it? is it peer reviewed? is it safe (bug-free)? is it even out there on github or something?

stop with the fucking drama, this has nothing to do with bitcoin, or owning bitcoin. it was a shady activities that got that person into trouble. and trust me when i say this but even with all the things you named here criminals like that person can not hide, and it can even get worse for them because they are literary laundering money with all the features you listed here and that is an additional crime on top of all their other criminal activities that you can find being mentioned in the comments on reddit (ie drug market).

in my experience those who wait for a specific price to buy or sell will never do so. because that specific price either never comes or when it comes they continue waiting while thinking there may be a better price to buy/sell around the corner!

it is so real, it is entering the scary territory in my opinion!
fast rises are never good, they are scary and they never last. slow and steady rise is what will last and is hard to push down.
i'm afraid this FOMO rise is mostly because of the ETF and in case it was rejected again there will be another type of F as in fear and the price may crash up to 20% back to $1100-1200 prices.

you don't need luck with that transaction accelerator! your transaction has to meet some requirements before it is accepted. and as you can see it has already been confirmed by ViaBTC since it has 26000 sat/KB fee. and if it was beyond submission limit just try again in the next hour when they reset it from 0.

i am very curious to know what exactly did you search for, that you missed all the miners with LOTS of bitcoin, all these services, exchanges, web wallets that have huge amounts of bitcoin and instead found a wallet belonging to FBI containing 300K. and can you share that wallet with us too.

looking forward to seeing this wallet...

i don't get it, are these fees in addition to withdrawal fees of all these payment processors. for example Perfect money has a 1.9% fee for their transactions on unverified accounts and THEY take it. are you taking an additional 1% on top of that?
so why should i use this service when exchanges like btc-e and c-cex exist that have these payment processors?
