miners and full-node - the real numbers...

[r1973]

These numbers are too low, 21 miners, that's a joke. 5500 nodes are to few either.

5500 nodes are too few either - that is right... but the REAL numbers are even lower than that: currently much less than 5200 and dropping on daily basis. The sad fact is that THERE IS NO WAY to increase the number of bitcoin core nodes worldwide.

Too big of a mempool requires a huge amount of ram and it isn't feasible for most people as most just run a node on a raspberry pi. The worst thing is, most have less than 1gb ram. Some nodes limit connections to reduce resource usage and it wouldn't display in the bitnodes snapshot at all.
