At\naround the 24th of February, there has been a sharp change of the\n\"current installs\" graph of Bitcoin Wallet. That number used to grow at\nabout 20.000 per month. After that date until now, it just barely moves\nhorizontal.\n\nMy guess is that a large number of users have lost interest after they\nlost their money in MtGox. The 24th of February coincides with the\n\"final\" shutdown, according to\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mt._Gox#February_2014_shutdown_and_bankruptcy\n\n\nOn 04/07/2014 02:17 PM, Ricardo Filipe wrote:\n\u003e phasing out of bitcoinqt into spv wallets?\n\u003e \n\u003e 2014-04-07 12:34 GMT+01:00 Mike Hearn \u003cmike at plan99.net\u003e:\n\u003e\u003e At the start of February we had 10,000 bitcoin nodes.

But does anyone have any idea how\n\u003e\u003e we might get more insight into what's really going on? It'd be convenient if\n\u003e\u003e the subVer contained the operating system, as then we could tell if the\n\u003e\u003e bleed was mostly from desktops/laptops (Windows/Mac), which would be\n\u003e\u003e expected, or from virtual servers (Linux), which would be more concerning.\n\u003e\u003e\n\u003e\u003e When you set up a Tor node, you can add your email address to the config\n\u003e\u003e file and the Tor project sends you emails from time to time about things you\n\u003e\u003e should know about. If we did the same, we could have a little exit survey:\n\u003e\u003e if your node disappears for long enough, we could email the operator and ask\n\u003e\u003e why they stopped.\n\u003e\u003e\n\u003e\u003e ------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\u003e\u003e Put Bad Developers to Shame\n\u003e\u003e Dominate Development with Jenkins Continuous Integration\n\u003e\u003e Continuously Automate Build, Test \u0026 Deployment\n\u003e\u003e Start a new project now.
