Total Nodes on Network

Would be interesting to see this view for the PPC network. Only ~8600 nodes on BTC, it is indeed early days yet…

Interesting, the last time I checked not that long ago we had 300 online wallets, which didn’t grow very fast. Now we have over 1700?
Sounds more realistic to me. I suspect they have been under reporting for a while. Anyone any thoughts?

I also noticed that. When I remember correctly we had 12 nodes showing up in Germany a few weeks ago. Now 138.

It also shows over 66k nodes for bitcoin :o

I think few thousands of nodes

We need to distinguish between active and passive nodes, seeders and leechers, bioinfocharts shows all/active http://bitinfocharts.com/ppcoin/ (bottom)

Thanks for pointing that out. I thought something was not right.

saw my IP stated on http://bitinfocharts.com/ppcoin/nodes

That’s cool. I looked for mine, and it wasn’t on there, and I have a sync’d wallet running.

To be sure, I downloaded a mirror of the site and searched through every thing with an automated spider. My IP is not there.

So that site isn’t 100% accurate. The node information may not coincide with current live nodes. There could be more nodes actually online (or less).

Reading this: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Satoshi_Client_Node_Discovery#Self_broadcast

It’s quite possible that the data on that site is only valid once every 24 hours during a node rebroadcast. If a node hops on the network, does a transaction, and gets off again, their node may not rebroadcast itself at that precise moment, therefore never show up on that node list.

Maybe a dump question (and offtopic), but how to set the node active? Does that cause any (security) problems beside the traffic?

@MUTO

  1. run client accepting inbound connections (listen=1 [default])
  2. be reachable
    a) check your ip http://whatismyipaddress.com/
    b) scan port 9901 for your ip http://www.subnetonline.com/pages/network-tools/online-port-scanner.php

@kac-
when you above wrote “1. run client accepting inbound connections (listen=1 [default])” I expected to find a rpc command “listen” in the list of rpc commands displayed by inputting the word “help” into the input window at the bottom of the console tab of the debug window of Qt client v 0.4 but there is no “listen” command. Can you please tell me what is my misperception here?

Typically, “listen=1” is added to the .conf file.

OK, Thanks Ben :slight_smile:

sooo we have near 25% as much as btc nodes and thats without a secure minting button…!

It would be an amazing feat if we passed them out…and a major bragging point for having a small blockchain :slight_smile:

I’ll try to revive it, had to shut scanning machine down.

I’m a lazy person, but at least one node running in full node, mainly because of You river333.

perhaps number of nodes could be showed on peercoin.net? we already have price, market cap and total supply. perhaps number of nodes are also of interest?
