UPDATED Poll on IPV6 usage

Please everyone try this again as the last poll ip6 link was broken.

Does http://test-ipv6.com/ show ipv6 connections successful (ignore all the additional tests, just ipv6 successful or not)

Unfortunately I get no IPV6 from mobile, or fixed internet in the place I’m staying.

I tried both with & without VPNs (Surfshark) and that didn’t help either.

Edit: I got it working using the Android app from one.one.one.one, where ‘WARP’ enables IPV6 for me.

No using O2 mobile b/b with/without VPS based VPN.

0/10 for both my desktop on mobile :cry:

was your mobile connected to your wifi? (just checking :wink: - for me the phone does have ipv6 when traveling 
 but that’s not the connection I could consider using for a node)

This is true :wink:

It seems 02 and virgin are laggards here. More O2 UK Mobile Customers Spot Hints of Future IPv6 Deployment - ISPreview UK (or just google search “does 02 support IPv6”).

The UK is so disappointing these days at so much. I see much of apple health is not available in the UK, but is in almost every other country in the world.

I cannot fathom why we fall so far in so much these days.

Bingo. 9/10 for mobile now.

Test if your ISP’s DNS server uses IPv6: bad (.062s)

No on phone o2 but yes on home connection that my nodes are on.

unfortunately web/browser based tests are only somewhat robust and need to be executed (run) multiple times over as such stuff as fallback and dualstack and dns/records lookup timeouts of DNS servers etc all come into play here. refresh / reload the test multiple times over and blocking ob select objects and resources on such websites (e.g. adblocker, protection etc) all influence this stuff.

Here is a ipv6 map for Sweden. Thet have been working on implementing IPv6 for a decade or more, slow pace.

Thats some cool data.

Here is the translation for anyone:

Kabelplus in Lower Austria doesnt support.

Straight out from fiber box: yes
Behind ISP potato router: no

Mobile carrier: first try 9/10, second try 10/10

It’s a 0/10 on mobile from Australia (AGL on Optus Network)
Just confirmation of how retrograde this country is.
Home broadband I could probably set it up for IPv6 to work

10/10 for home network
0/10 on mobile network

It’s always astounding to me how a new better technology can be killed by countries and corporations just acting in the usual sloth like raking in profits manner. So much innovation lost by inaction and until it bites them hard they just plod along.

Same with all of our electricity and water systems. We seem to be acting in a short term way to all our infrastructure in so many countries now and then we will all get shocked when China/far East and the Middle East overtake us, as they will for sure, and quite rightly to, given our short term/ism

David, this is the main problem with the idea that after ERC20 is in place, that some time later node operators, developers and users will be moved over to a superior brand new technology, and unproven token.

That is a risk for sure, but not as bad as these large infra risks. I feel fairly confident we can introduce such a change, but I do feel that having the network up and the API’s sorted that we are at least out there.

Even if it were a “hard fork” as folk say then I think it will still be possible. What I am keen on is getting nodes super super lean now. So have them 500% more efficient and smaller.

The apps will be the controller of the network then and is we have new nodes that can still use the same data format and somehow accept both currencies we can get a mechanism to move to a much faster and more scalable currency. But in the meantime if having the friction and downsides of a blockchain thing get’s the network out and gets folk building with confidence then I think this will look a lot different than us trying to win all the battles at once.

So I do have faith in this journey we are on and I am much more keen on the function of the network being put out there as soon as possible and then evolve it.

I agree though, it’s easier and faster to think we can do it all at once, it’s less risk in some ways to launch s we are and more in others, but if erc20 etc. allows folk to earn and share resources and we can all build those apps then we are in a good place. If the apps can be more efficient with a more scalable currency then I see it very much like new data types being introduced etc. Of course there are intricacies as always, but I have faith we can do this now. Much more than trying to fight the machines and get new currency types used by exchanges etc. which is currently a total road block.
