       #Bitcoin node stats update:Figured out a way to detect and ignore some fake bots pretending to be lots of 0.16.0 nodes.This brings the real node count down from ~70k to more like ~50k :((On the bright side, it also means Taproot enforcement is more like 62% - not great, but less terrible than before)https://luke.dashjr.org/programs/bitcoin/files/charts/branches.html

       @lukedashjr Any suspicious as to what these bots are trying to achieve? Manipulating taproot/segwit adoption stats? (I think UTXO count is usually the dominant stat for adoption though..)

       @stevenroose Not sure. They've been around for a long while, I think.

       @lukedashjr @stevenroose I wonder if there could be any large scale de-anonymization happening? Would running 0.16 give some advantage?

       @threed @stevenroose Another dev's theory is that perhaps 0.16.0 was the latest version when these bots were written.

       @lukedashjr This still ignores all the tor only nodes right? So between Umbrel, Embassy, Raspiblitz etc you have another 10-20k easily.
