How many nodes are running right now around the world?
I know we can't know the exact number, but a good faith estimate?

About 100k give or take according to nostr:nprofile1qqs0m40g76hqmwqhhc9hrk3qfxxpsp5k3k9xgk24nsjf7v305u6xffcwac93l. Source: https://luke.dashjr.org/programs/bitcoin/files/charts/software.html
100k>
isn't that a slow number? what are the risks of it?
yeah, around 20000 is my estimate too, i run one, so i know it's over 20k by now (it was estimated 20k before i started running one)
Yeah I started running an Umbrel node on a raspberry in 22. Feels about right from then. Though mine keeps falling over. I should check out a nostr:nprofile1qqs9df4h2deu3aae83fmet5xmrlm4w5l9gdnsy3q2n7dklem7ezmwfc6c32nl or a 2nd pc 🧐
