I’m not counting aws nodes or tor nodes, asmap on. i’m getting around 8%. But i only have like 300 samples. Will continue collecting
His problem is his insistance on using asmap. It doesn't make sense for this use case. Using asmap means everyone with Comcast as an ISP counts as 1 node. Everyone on Spectrum, just 1 node. It's ridiculous.
What a lower percentage with asmap would indicate is a lack of diversity among Knots nodes. Which would make sense, since the bad actors in Core stole the Transifex repo a year ago to prevent people from translating Knots... So non-English-speaking countries would understandably be underrepresented at this point.
