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.
