It doesn’t count tor nodes 🤙
What the hell, folks? I get my Full Node up and running after many years of hodling. Grok walked me through everything on Ubuntu and it was my first time in Linux.
So, I figure there has to be a LOT of accessible full nodes, right? I find where to look.
No! There are only 22313 in the world.
Only 2300 or so in the whole US (at least the traceable ones).
Why are you not running a full node? Just spend $200 on a Nucbox and have Grok walk you through it.

This is my understanding:
This count does include accessible TOR nodes, as indicated by the ".onion: +0.9%" in the protocol breakdown. This means 0.9% of the 22,313 nodes (approximately 201 nodes) are accessible via TOR.
Maybe you mean private TOR nodes?
Interesting, ok. Everyone I know runs a tor node so if that’s true, that number seems way too low. I feel like I know over 200 people running on tor.
This one shows 14k
In fact, I think that is wrong, too. That is the growth in tor Nodes. So, yes all accessibly nodes are counter here and the TOR nodes are in the top group.
Here are all nodes (accessible or not):
and tor nodes:
The numbers don't quit sync, which bugs me as a data architect, but it isn't my data.
Those numbers seem more realistic
These are nodes that have port 8333 (or their configured port) open to incoming connections. These are the ones that can be "seen" and counted by services like that website....tons of users run Bitcoin nodes behind firewalls, NAT, or Tor...they don't accept incoming connections and thus aren't easily counted by public scanning sites.
