Hmmm. > > Am I correct in guessing that if there were more Stable nodes, or at > least more Stable nodes compatible with the current protocol revision, > I'd be connected to them? Or is there a limiting factor built into fred? Probably... unless through some strange contortion it is in fact a problem with rejecting connections (most nodes probably reject connections most of the time..). > I appreciate that it's not really possible to determine the true number > of nodes, but from my node's perspective, it doesn't seem like there are > more than ~350 at any point in time. That's rather sad. It means there were thousands of stable nodes people installed and then forgot about, before muxing went in, which have subsequently died a death...
