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.
