Add nodes from blockchain.info to bitcoind

[emsit]

Hello,

I've created a simple bash script for insert nodes from blockchain.info to bitcoind.

Code:

#!/bin/bash
 
# Add nodes from blockchain.info to bitcoind
# Tested on bitcoin version 0.9.1
 
#run as Bitcoin user
#su -l Bitcoin -c "/home/addnode.sh" -s /bin/sh
 
clear
 
IFS=$'\n'
nodes=`curl -s http://blockchain.info/connected-nodes | egrep -o '([[:digit:]]+\.[[:digit:]]+\.[[:digit:]]+\.[[:digit:]]+)' | sort -u`
i=0
for node in $nodes; do
	bitcoin=`bitcoind addnode $node add 2>&1`
	if [ -z "$bitcoin" ]; then
		((i++))
	elif [ -n "`echo $bitcoin | grep -v 'error: {"code":-23,"message":"Error: Node already added"}'`" ]; then
		echo "Unknown error: $bitcoin"
		exit 1
	fi
done
 
if [ "$i" -gt 0 ]; then
	echo "Successfully added $i new nodes."
else
	echo "There are no new nodes."
fi

Can be run from a cronjob (change path):

Code:

*/30 * * * * /home/addnode.sh > /dev/null

I don't see how this would be useful / a good idea?

Haven't tried the script, but the list of connected nodes (http://blockchain.info/connected-nodes) is something interesting and I didn't know was there.

Then you might find this interesting too: https://getaddr.bitnodes.io/

This script won't create a node.

You don't make profit from running a node. There is currently a lottery going on, but it will unlikely cover your costs for running a node:

Reasons why people run full nodes even without financial reward: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Full_node#Why_should_you_run_a_full_node.3F

yeah, don't see the purpose either, re: addnode on blockchain.info nodes.  is the sort random?  even worse if not
