When Do Bitcoin Node Operators Upgrade?

"Before July 2018 it generally took 1 year for 95% of node operators to update their software. But after 2018 it doubled to 2 years. And it's entirely possible that we're now in an era of it taking 3 years for 95% of node operators to update!"

Love to see it

This is not good thing IMO.

Bitcoiners should know when to update software quickly and when to stick with old version.

If this trend doesn't change then people will take too much time to adjust their filters for arb data (aka spam) and we all will end up storing lot of spam in our nodes.

There is no โ€œspamโ€!

Thatโ€™s a good thing! It shows that bitcoin is really decentralized and that a update isnโ€™t able to change the fundamentals of bitcoin.

I'd also like to see more implementations to choose from and play with.
