Sadly thats another one I have to file under NLMCT.
Sad but true.

All I can really tell you here is that “old” is for nodes that didn’t have the version number as part of the protocol. So anything prior to 2025.1.2.6.

thanks for dropping in @chriso
so does the 22 mean 22% for the latest version ?
i was guessing there was something up due to previous versions not having it as part of the protocol
Sorry, I’m not really sure. I haven’t really been involved in the implementation of the metrics.
According to our own dashboard, 46% are still on “old” versions.

Nope, there isn’t one. So long as these rewards exist we are going to continue to have far more nodes than are needed - I wonder how that compares energy-wise to the BTC network! Everyone was so proud that we’d use less energy to send tokens as a network … those days seem far in the past now.
Rewards for doing nothing is destructive to the grassroots development of our network as it discourages good node runners like @Jane from participating - and, likely as well, telling friends to participate.

thanks @chriso i cant figure out how to divine 46% from those numbers
I am wanting to implement this into NTracking for the community monitoring but im not sure how to interpret it @Shu if your about a top tip would be appreciated

I’m not really up to speed on that, sorry. I’d just like to see the network functional and reliable at this point. So I’m hoping the next release will bring a significant improvement so we can get people playing with apps.

Indeed for example see @Bearhand in Node earnings where I am pleading with him to hang on in there.
@bridge disregard @Southside he is a toss pot i value you as a community member and for being here with us over all these years.
and also south Korea is not glowing like a hetzner data center right now.
so thank you to our south Korean friends who are running nodes more power to you and your like !!

If the only people who can contribute anything meaningful to the network are whales with large data centres (as is the case right now) then even if the upload issue is fixed the network will remain largely centralized. The network still has advantages over AWS but decentralization isn’t one of them, and neither is accessibility because we have to buy obscure crypto from shady exchanges to use it. The only fix I can see is to make the node sizes verifiable and of minimal size ie ‘Proof of space’, but even then it won’t deter whales completely but it will make it much more costly for them to run nodes when there is no demand for storage.

Who says his nodes are based in south Korea?
Most of mine will show from Nuremberg and Falkenstein.
FFS Neil, your pretty map proves eff-all.
Do try harder.
And exactly what are we going to move on to?
Find another way to enrich the already well-off?
Ram yer happy-clappy bullshit memes.

no you try harder your attacking community members who cant reach you with a swift jab.
OG’s are a family and @bridge is one of us and if he is over egging his 20k nodes so what!!
settle down petal !!

I have a real hobby - its called Autonomi and I will defend it even though some of you who should know better seem determined to let the parasites destroy it.
I have enough storage, but for those stretching the limits, when upload’s begin, nodes will vanish. It’s all a balancing act going forward. But we will get there.

We’re in a bit of a stalemate here. We would like to see an economy emerge where the price of ant, and thus the earnings, heavily fluctuate relative to the fillrate of the nodes. Supported by emissions as a base layer to keep the nodes engaged.
But as it stands the ethereum fees are so high that the ant costs for an upload are negligible so there won’t be enough uploads to even fill the nodes for 1%. It costs a fortune to upload so much data that every node on the network gets 1 chunk on average.
Once the network fills, datacenter nodes can’t compete with the crazy people who run fat dual xeon/epycs at home, or even a raspberry pi with a usb harddrive.

He may have longevity but he has no discernable history of actually putting a shift in with testnets, commnets, giving advice and help on the forum.
He is no OG whatsoever.
And you COMPLETELY miss the point
He is not
He is massively under-reporting them.
