The &#34;100,000&#34; number was an mostly&#xA;useless metric that just counted the number of distinct addr messages&#xA;floating around the network, which contains a lot of junk.  They also&#xA;reported an actual connectable node count previously and while they&#xA;may have tweaked things here and there as far as I can tell it has&#xA;been consistent with the numbers they are using in the headlines now.</html></oembed>
