If you prune out the core cloud nodes, I’m afraid to hear the comparison after that. It means knots has more than 20%…
there seems to be a large number of cloud core nodes. most of the knots nodes appear to be running in residential ISPs, which makes sense. there's just not a lot of them compared to bitcoin cloud infra. I didn't realize there were so many cloud nodes but I guess that makes sense with all the services out there.
AS bucketing is really cool, it turns an ocean of IPs into something readable

He found that 100% of the network is not running v30.
yes I suspect you are right, I can calculate that one sec
actually the long tail wins here, cutting out cloud nodes bumps knots ratio from 8.2 to 11%
Nice. So about half of the knots nodes are cloud based?
What percentage of core nodes are cloud? I’m curious.
no clearnet knots nodes are cloud based, its all residential
at least the ones I connected to
Oh I guess I misinterpreted what you meant. So what percentage of core nodes are cloud-based? Last I saw knots was at 20% of the total network compared to core.
I'm seeing about ~27%-32% of core nodes are cloud nodes based on the 1450 core nodes I have sampled
Damn, that brings bitcoin core’s residential dominance down from 80% to 50%… if you remove the bitcoin core cloud nodes & if none of the knots nodes in that 20% are cloud.
50% core vs 20% knots for residential means bitcoin core is barely double knots. 😯
But then again this is a small sample so who knows, just estimating. I don’t like the trend though.
You guys are looking at this wrong.
It’s not knots vs core
It’s core v30/libre vs everything else
And to complicate things more, just because it’s a knots node doesn’t mean it’s filtering spam. In fact it doesn’t even mean it’s actually a knots node.
