came across /Satoshi:27.0.0/ nodes on Linode/AS63949 as well. 2,006 IPs and half of them seem dead.
all of them:
- on block height 0
- send exactly 256 addresses as GETADDR response. every address in the response have:
- timestamp = now
- are also part of this linode cluster
they’re also in ~0.2% of the new table but ~6% of the tried table (most are ~6% but seeing 2-10% range) of different addrman snapshots in peer.observer. it didn’t exist in 2024.
these linode nodes seem to be the IPv4 celebs - the most seen ipv4 addresses in GETADDR responses when running virtu’s crawler. The overall top 5000 are almost entirely onion addresses - only 9 IPv4 nodes break into that top 5000 and all 9 are from this cluster.
