I decided to start this thread in order to help proliferate the amount of available nodes. It may sink like a stone, but come on people: get bitcoin core up and running if you have the resources.
I think I can just see my node on this map (west of Nottingham city centre, UK):
https://getaddr.bitnodes.io/United Kingdom is currently at 378 (5.31% of global nodes).
Come on people:see if you can find your node and let's give bitcoin decentralisation a boost!
