Well, it's not that great once you make a zoom on specific areas.  There is only one node in London, for instance.

I actually think that those marks are way too big on the global mark.  This gives a false feeling.

Filling out nicely!

Holy crap!  I just took a look at that map about a week ago.  Amazing.

Nice. Is there an easy place to see the total unique nodes ever identified?

People who use bitcoin are likely to have false IP addresses.  javascript:void(0);

Looks like there is atleast one poor client in Thailand.  Poor fellow will have difficulties using ฿ for Bhat and Bitcoin.

This image, or a variation of it, might be good for the Wikipedia article. Unless you want to recommend another, would you care to license this image for use on the Wikipedia?

I'm in South Korea and I set up 2 machines running the client today. I see on the map that one of them has appeared. It's red on the map in the OP and white when I look at the google maps link.

If my client window says I have connections down at the bottom does that mean it will be green?

One machine is behind a firewall I don't have access to do anything to (work computer) and the other one isn't behind anything, so I think I should eventually see one green and one red point near my location. Am I understanding this right?

Make sure your firewall on the machine itself is configured to allow incoming connections on port 8333, then your machine will appear green. You'll get connections even if you didn't configure your firewall, but it's better to.

The map is "updated" every 30 minutes. If your node is white it may take some time until it is tested. If it's red it won't be tested again before at least 24 hours.

Very cool, are locations generally accurate? I'm not seeing myself, but I almost always have bitcoin open.

http://www.maxmind.com/app/faq#accurate (I'm using the free city database)

Interesting, there are three within 25 miles of me, so maybe I am one of those.

if you want to know which then google "what is my ip", and go to the google maps link. scroll down for your ip address.

If you think about it, bitcoin is pretty much everywhere the internet is.

so if someone is running the client in a location, what does the color show if:
* the client is running with "generate" turned off?
* the client is running with "generate" turned on?
* the client is NOT running at all?

We cannot know if a given client is currently generating.

However if the client is NOT running at all, the dot is red (and disappear within 3 hours)

Asia seems really underrepresented.

I would have expected more in Japan especially, given the number of internet users.
