There are only 2,300 full Bitcoin nodes that are available 100% up time. While the figures from bitnodes shows around 5,500, that number is, apparently, misleading.



Bitcoin is running off a number of nodes which I always thought was the minimum number given the current growth of Bitcoin and the block chain.

When @stonehedge releases his research on full nodes, you'll understand why this is depressing. This is really depressing.There are only 2,300 full Bitcoin nodes that are available 100% up time.

Nodes That Serve

Spreadcoin is perfectly positioned to help with a problem that very few people are even aware is a problem. This could be one of those right time, right place opportunities for both Bitcoin and Spreadcoin.

The true cost of each Bitcoin transaction is much, much, much higher than I ever thought.

37kWh per transaction?The true cost of each Bitcoin transaction is much, much, much higher than I ever thought.

This guy runs a mining and hosting for a fee operation, so he knows about costs (I suppose the Chinese don't really pay electricity).







Interesting that the risks to Bitcoin that we thought would be really big risks are being brought up by those closest to mining:



The Bitcoin halving this year will be painful, unless there is a price increase, but the halving in 4 years time is a 'survival' event.

I thought this was interesting. ETH has more nodes than Bitcoin despite being more difficult to set up. Eventually will it be possible to incentivize running Ethereum nodes, correct? I know you (Coins101) had mentioned SPR might be able to analyze data from smart contracts. With ETH gathering momentum it seems that SPR might have yet another great opportunity if that is something that can be done down the road. I thought this was interesting.
