Just wondering what you all thought.  I just seen that there are over a 1000 nodes that are Classic nodes now.  If most nodes where classic do you think miners would switch to classic and start mining bigger blocks?

Not as only reason. Also I doubt most nodes switch from Core to Classic anytime soon because of high network effect Core has and most people are very reluctant/lazy when it comes to change even if it is slightly better option.


Generally if you count nodes only by unique IPs which coin.dance is doing, it can be trusted. Ironically the few days ago I checked, bit more fake nodes were Core ones, like fake 20% Core nodes and 15% fake Classic nodes (the same IP)
This is a very weird method that you're suggesting. So you're telling me that if I run two nodes on the same IP, they should be considered as fake?

I believe so because there is high likelihood these nodes are either on the same computer or on the same location like specific datacenter or room complex. I know some ISP sharing the same IP between its clients, so there is chance the same IP might be from 2 different individuals separated few miles, but most likely not - so it is good method to exclude probably fake nodes - or do you know better method ?

They may switch to Classic if everyone is on it, but they could still put a soft 1MB limit on the blocks that they generate for performance reasons. It may be better to keep generating and propagating 1MB blocks efficiently than trying to generate 2MB blocks for the additional scrap fees and having those orphaned.
