The question is if you're going to ignorantly spin your wheels crying that you don't like it or are you going to realize that people are going to do things you dislike on censorship resistant networks, thus it's a waste of time trying to stop them.

Shooting non-threatening people is wrong. All of the more complex political issues that caused the folks to exercise their first amendment rights are irrelevant with regard to the shooting.

Kratter is a Puritan who wants his fellow Puritans to exert their authority (that they don't have) in order to stop people from using Bitcoin in ways they disapprove of. After years of whining about jpegs and other degeneracy, they landed on the most extreme example: child sex abuse.

Correct, and those unreachable nodes effectively contribute zero bandwidth to the network.

According to bitnodes: Network speed of a reachable Bitcoin node is measured once per day by downloading a sample block from the node. The aggregated data includes only reachable IPv4/IPv6 nodes that do return block data at the time of measurement.

Though maybe this indicates that a lot of reachable nodes are sybils that are running on shared machines.

It just means that the speed at which you can receive block / transaction data from the average peer node has been going down.

2026-01-04 16:35:03 UTC

That was my first thought but bitnodes says it doesn't include bandwidth measurements for Tor nodes.
Also, the ratio of Tor to clearnet nodes didn't change meaningfully last year.

2026-01-04 16:03:07 UTC

The median reachable Bitcoin node's upstream bandwidth dropped by 39% year over year to 6.6 megabits per second. This is both baffling and concerning.
