To the OP: Who cares?

The number of nodes running XT has nothing whatsoever to do with the rollout of 8MB block support.  That depends entirely on the blocks mined % crossing 75%, followed by a 2-week delay.  Those numbers can't be faked, and for now are at 0.1%.

And no, the mining of a BIP 101 block does NOT create a fork.  Core reads and understands those blocks perfectly well.  It will not fork until the first > 1MB block is mined, which won't occur until after the rollout, and possibly not for weeks or months after that.

I don't see any issues with that... I've configured nodes both on VPS and on a server of my own. It depends on what's cheaper and on what you feel comfortable with. I'd be more worried with fake nodes than with nodes running on VPS's

[iCEBREAKER]

for now, 10% of all nodes are on XT and NotXT...

Fixed it.



Mostly free trials?  LOL, so much for the mighty Gavinista economic majority.  More like broke kids bored because summer vacation!

11%!

Since I got in this train, never a dull day.

before XT : 5800-5900
after XT : 6500

problem ?

Oh that's clearly brand new users, enticed in by all the uncertainty presumably.

The problem is you are counting NotXT nodes (and Pseudonodes) as XT nodes.  Let me know how that works out for you.

I undertook the painstaking effort of seeing how many virtual servers/cloud servers were being used as nodes for Bitcoin XT, since the node # rose alot the past few days. No less than 250 nodes are virtual servers from Amazon, Microsoft, Digital Ocean, etc. Seems like almost every company that offers free trials has at least a handful of Bitcoin XT servers. There might be quite a bit more since I didn't have time to research all the different companies.

So 40+ % of Bitcoin XT nodes are definitely virtual servers, they're trying to inflate their numbers to appear credible. Free virtual servers have little power so they're obviously not mining, and won't help Bitcoin XT gain ability to take over the network. The only thing they do is create an illusion.

more then a happy coincidence one would say. replies can twist all they want tis obvious someones faking.

wtf is this notxt thing?

besides i think the guy meant that it is just pure new fake nodes, as in no old nodes migration towards xt. or at least thats how i see it.

This is bull. If ever we see xt nodes being run on free trials on virtual servers, we will see bitcoin fall to the ground. Why fake the stats? Desperation, I think.

I've said it over and over...
the powers that be can't stop bitcoin! they can't simply shut TCP/IP. but they can take over the Dev team..Gavicough... i mean If i recall, the "folks at the CIA" had  a  little chat with Gavin didn't they?
no one knows what the fuck they talked about. I don't trust Gavin, XT, or mike for a millisecond.

FUCK XT!!! FUCK YOU GAVIN.. FUCK YOU MIKE!!! FUUUUUUUUCK YOU

bitcoin is being taken over right in front of our eyes and i should be worried about being mature?

Ever heard the phrase "permissionless innovation"?  The only way that the network is changing is if the majority wants it to.

What you see as a takeover I see as free market principles at work.  No one can take over Bitcoin unless everyone agrees to it.

Well, it's a software propagation war and the outside world preceives it as such. Nothing anyone would want to have his own money involved.

Good luck people, i'm on a coin with less issues. Laterz...
