How to figure out Number of nodes on custom BTC-based Blockchain?

July 18, 2017, 08:14:53 AM

Hello,

We have a custom Blockchain based on the original BTC one with some tweaks. Now how can I get the information how many nodes are currently supporting the network?

You can't. The best you can do is to make a crawler to try to figure out what nodes are accepting incoming connections. You can't know about the nodes that only have outbound connections though.
