It is pretty easy to explain:
You can make nodes, that don't do anything at all. You might be able to make 100 nodes on your PC, if you know how(I guess it is even more)

BitcoinXT or Bitcoin Core is just a string the clients send. You can change it, when ever you like.

So, node-count is easily manipulated. That is pretty much the reason, why Satoshi invented POW in the first place.

What the actual hell is going on here , I'am pretty sure it's just a shitty counter and it's not real nodes or anything ...
As some of you may know , website has been ddosed but it's back up right now : https://voat.co/v/bitcoin/comments/446186 (nop it's not Satoshi)

Look this chart right here , we was simply at around 900 nodes like we are now and suddenly it went to 4600 nodes like hell and now it's back to around 900 however the Non-XT nodes are at 9000 which probably never happened on the last year/ few months ?  Undecided It seems like they are the BitcoinXT nodes that we had for few hours or whatever (~4000 as I said) + the real Bitcoin Core nodes

Something Phishy is  happening here or I'am missing something that's for sure
