hmmm, this is interesting when thinking about the casual survey i was doing

While conducting a casual survey into how many people use Bitcoin, the question of how many nodes do we need arose.



Here is how many reachable nodes are on the network supporting these users, along with the original version release dates:



The key question is is a little complicated: how many full nodes do we need for the current users, how many do we need for double the current users; how many do we need for 100m users; and how many do we need for double that again?

Rather than ask those questions first, I thought it would be interesting to get a common base for how many nodes do we need for the current user base of between 2m to 10m going into a growth period which might see numbers go up to 30m?


Lets ignore pruning; segwit, etc. Those are fantastic technological advances, that I would call tricks of the trade to make everyday users lives easier. The backbone of the network is always going to be full nodes.

What a price spike there's been in the last few days! We've one more day to go before we cut the winners for #BitcoinSurvey 2016's May draw.

There's 444 responses, less 5 who won last month, so that's a 1 in ~88 chance of being picked as it stands right now! We'll be doing our next draw before the weekend, so have your say now, to be in with a chance of winning 0.05 bitcoin which is worth ~$27 or ~€24

The links are in the OP at https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.14598046

Hi all,

There's the last few days in May to go before we do our next draw for the next 5x 0.05 bitcoin, which will be happening mid-next week. Take part today to have a shot at it! If you're running into technical issues with the link in the OP, send me a PM!

Thanks

Jamie

@n691309 , what's the link you're clicking that's giving you that error? As I said in a previous post, our web host's firewall is filtering some people (sorry guys, pm me what language you want, and I'll send you the direct link to polldaddy), but that particular error is a new one

None of the links above does not work for me, don't know what happened maybe my region? If you can send me the direct link to polldaddy.

@NeuroticFish which language survey were you running into the problem with? We've had that report from a couple of people, it seems that certain configs of ubuntu, or VPN's are triggering our web host's firewall

This time I tried Romanian. On Chrome for Windoze. No VPN, no odd settings.
A few weeks ago I tried EN and RO, same result.

Hi all,

A bit of fun for a Friday evening, I've updated the map of participants which is below, thanks everyone!



@davinchi yeah, the OP is being updated with the running total and details on the survey rewards distribution

@john2231 we did add albanian and chinese because people helped out, and we have a modest reward for volunteers. I know there was some forum posts talking about Filipino, but if you want to PM me, I can get you in touch with my colleague who has the localisation files.

At first when I visited the link provided by OP, I wasn't able to understand how to do the survey until I started reading from the top (I usually don't read from the top, rather from the middle, down, then the top). That was a 'normal' length survey. Not too short, yet not too long and the questions were easy to understand. I hope the success for this survey!

There's still 2 more draws for a further 0.25 each, plus the 0.5 reward once the survey is done. Take part today!

While your site still doesn't load (at least for me), I guess that I will still not "take part today".

We're continuing to have people fill in the different surveys, and we've passed 400 responses! We've also added Chinese and Albanian to the languages.

Hi all,

I've exported all the results up to now, so we've a bit of work to do before we can do up the draw.

Once that's done, we can set up #BitcoinDachshund to hit go on our Trezor.
