Our peak network mining hashrate reached 3.9461MH/s (there have been some higher temporary peaks from pools, but the network hash rate takes a little longer to catch up)
There are at least 108 different network nodes supporting the Safex Blockchain across the world
The reaility is, there may be more. There is the option to not be public to the network. Also, these numbers are based on the nodes that my nodes have seen so far.
It’s great to see though! So many first-timers going outside of their comfort zones and getting into the technicalities of starting a node and learning about how the underlying technology works!
We should target to have about 300 nodes at least full time running; I believe that over the next couple of months as we continue to communicate with the world about our achievement that this will become a reality.
FYI in 2014 there were about 350 bitcoin nodes running full time; and the market cap was approximately 7 billion$
I think with the release of the Windows and Mac binaries, this may be more of a retailty in the future. Not sure how the upcoming GUI wallet will operate, but i think i remember you saying that there may be the option to point the wallet to a local private node.
