Now we have 8,500 and\nstill falling:\n\n   http://getaddr.bitnodes.io/dashboard/chart/?days=60\n\nI know all the reasons why people *might* stop running a node (uses too\nmuch disk space, bandwidth, lost interest etc). But does anyone have any\nidea how we might get more insight into what's really going on? It'd be\nconvenient if the subVer contained the operating system, as then we could\ntell if the bleed was mostly from desktops/laptops (Windows/Mac), which\nwould be expected, or from virtual servers (Linux), which would be more\nconcerning.\n\nWhen you set up a Tor node, you can add your email address to the config\nfile and the Tor project sends you emails from time to time about things\nyou should know about. If we did the same, we could have a little exit\nsurvey: if your node disappears for long enough, we could email the\noperator and ask why they stopped.\n-------------- next part --------------\nAn HTML attachment was scrubbed...\nURL: \u003chttp://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/attachments/20140407/7c7bf641/attachment.html\u003e"}
