achow101 DNS seeder crawler dump

The node database of achow101's Bitcoin DNS seeder as a text dump, one line per known address with reachability over several time windows, last-seen time, height, services, version and user agent. Written continuously by the dnsseedrs crawler behind the seeder, which asks nodes for addresses and keeps retrying each one. Useful for node counts per network and software adoption; a single live snapshot from one vantage point, without history.

bitcoin.fish.foo DNS seeder crawler dump

The node database of Will Clark's Bitcoin DNS seeder seed.bitcoin.fish.foo as a text dump, one line per known address with reachability over several time windows, height, services, version, user agent and retry statistics. Written continuously by a dnsseedrs crawler behind the seeder. Useful as an independent vantage point, since this seeder is not hardcoded in Bitcoin Core; a single live snapshot without history.

P2P network health metrics

Daily time series on the health of Bitcoin's P2P network: reachable nodes by network type, unique and long-term reachable node estimates, and the quality of addresses served by each DNS seed. Produced by virtu's p2p-metrics- exporter, which crawls the network and queries the DNS seeds. Useful for tracking node counts and DNS seed quality over time; only listening nodes are counted.
