Actually I&#xA;was expecting that years ago and was kind of surprised that the suppression&#xA;was being done via banks. Guess the GFW operators were just slow to catch&#xA;up.&#xA;On 20 May 2014 10:16, &lt;bitcoingrant at gmx.com&gt; wrote:&#xA;&#xA;&gt; Recently China has updated its firewall blocking bitcoin sites and pools.&#xA;&gt; Whether this is simple blacklist or more sophisticated packet targeting&#xA;&gt; is uncertain, however this update did spefically target VPN handshakes.&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt;  *Sent:* Monday, April 07, 2014 at 1:07 PM&#xA;&gt; *From:* Drak &lt;drak at zikula.org&gt;&#xA;&gt; *To:* &#34;Mike Hearn&#34; &lt;mike at plan99.net&gt;&#xA;&gt; *Cc:* &#34;Bitcoin Dev&#34; &lt;bitcoin-development at lists.sourceforge.net&gt;&#xA;&gt; *Subject:* Re: [Bitcoin-development] Why are we bleeding nodes?&#xA;&gt;  For what it&#39;s worth, the number of nodes rose dramatically during the&#xA;&gt; China bullrun (I recall 45k in China alone) and dropped as dramatically as&#xA;&gt; the price after the first PBOC announcement designed to cool down bitcoin&#xA;&gt; trading in China.&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt; On 7 April 2014 12:34, Mike Hearn &lt;mike at plan99.net&gt; wrote:&#xA;&gt;&gt;&#xA;&gt;&gt; At the start of February we had 10,000 bitcoin nodes.

But does anyone have any&#xA;&gt;&gt; idea how we might get more insight into what&#39;s really going on? It&#39;d be&#xA;&gt;&gt; convenient if the subVer contained the operating system, as then we could&#xA;&gt;&gt; tell if the bleed was mostly from desktops/laptops (Windows/Mac), which&#xA;&gt;&gt; would be expected, or from virtual servers (Linux), which would be more&#xA;&gt;&gt; concerning.&#xA;&gt;&gt;&#xA;&gt;&gt; When you set up a Tor node, you can add your email address to the config&#xA;&gt;&gt; file and the Tor project sends you emails from time to time about things&#xA;&gt;&gt; you should know about. If we did the same, we could have a little exit&#xA;&gt;&gt; survey: if your node disappears for long enough, we could email the&#xA;&gt;&gt; operator and ask why they stopped.&#xA;&gt;&gt;&#xA;&gt;&gt;&#xA;&gt;&gt; ------------------------------------------------------------------------------&#xA;&gt;&gt; Put Bad Developers to Shame&#xA;&gt;&gt; Dominate Development with Jenkins Continuous Integration&#xA;&gt;&gt; Continuously Automate Build, Test &amp; Deployment&#xA;&gt;&gt; Start a new project now.
