I think that soon btc will be across the world as it is the best coin ever and it will be able to occupy new positions. I m sure that it will be able to substitute all other coins in the nearest future

And this once again proves that bitcoin is unlimited. It really is suitable as a use as a global cryptocurrency, so we should do our best to develop it and use as much as possible on the territory of your country, if it is allowed by your government.

Sorry to revive an old thread - is https://smsz.net/btcStats/bitcoin.kml being updated regularly?

How reliable do you think this data is? Compared to http://bitcoinstatus.rowit.co.uk/ it seems to show lower counts.

No, that kml no longer gets updated.

Rowit stopped updating mid-July.

There probably are some traders collecting this info but nobody is sharing it as far as I know.  

Here's one reason why:
 - http://blockchain.info/charts/my-wallet-n-users

Electrum, BitcoinSpinner, and online hosted (shared) EWallets are another.

Sorry there's not much to go on to quantify if though.

What might be useful is to watch the growth of this metric:

"Total Unique Ip Addresses: 1,151,068.00"  - Bitcoin nodes blockchain.info has connected to in the past.

This seems to be working again.

Is it related to a huge drop in active clients as indicated by bitcoinstats?

Going by the population map, it looks like our best bet for sustained growth is a marketing push in India, as they already have a bitcoin presence, but it's not nearly comparable to their population.

why I can never find my IP 217.139.64.173

The methods that are used to collect the data aren't described fully.  The wiki article does specify that "It is currently still unknown how reliable this information is."
  - http://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Bitcoin_Map

There have been some developments including "split channel" for the IRC and DNSSeed, so it is possible the data collection method initially used is incompatible with the changes.

Is it working now or just another backup file ? I mean is it live ?

Google maps won't render the live data ( https://smsz.net/btcStats/bitcoin.kml ) , presumably because the KML data has grown too large:
  - http://maps.google.com/maps?q=https://smsz.net/btcStats/bitcoin.kml

So that we have at least a relatively current working view of the map, I published a link with a snapshot from July 6th after ripping out all data except for ip address and location.
  - http://maps.google.com/maps?q=http://c1958612.r12.cf0.rackcdn.com/bitcoin.kml

Hey, could you make another release taking samples for three days of any node that showed up in the official kml? I would really appreciate it. Smiley

I managed to get it to work by dowloading the KML directly and using the desktop google earth program, dam its lagging like crazy, did you get all these IP's off of the IRC?


And yes i did find my IP, however its marked at the front of my neighborhood instead of where i really am. Looks like there are more Bitcoiners around here than i thought.

AS stated, the official file is too big for Google Maps and won't read it.

Another version was made available with all the version and port information gone to save space.

For the linked KML file
http://maps.google.com/maps?q=https://smsz.net/btcStats/bitcoin.kml
I get a "File not found" error from Google maps:
Code:
File not found at https://smsz.net/btcStats/b....

Suggestions:

    Make sure the URL is spelled correctly.
    Make sure the file exists.

Would it be easy to subdivide the kml data into separate files based on regions?

EDIT: Does anyone know any other map provider which reads from a KML file? Looks like the file is up, just downloaded it, and google doesn't want to load it. Maybe it is too big?

Ok, looks like it is a file size limitation.  Because XML is so verbose, the only way I could get all markers to appear was to remove some of the data items.  

I removed the tag which included IP: and Version: data items.
Without those, the was no longer needed either.

  
$ cat "bitcoin.kml"|sed 's/.*<\/styleUrl>//g'|sed 's/.*<\/description>//g'


So now the file loads, but no longer do we have the red / green indicators:
 - http://maps.google.com/maps?q=http://c1958612.r12.cf0.rackcdn.com/bitcoin.kml

Look how much that map has filled out over the past few weeks ... very impressive!
