running bitcointap peer-tracker
this is a simple script that uses USDT tracepoints in core + #bitcointap to collect connected node user agents over time.
currently just running clearnet + asmap since I don't trust tor for accurate data, but will try again with tor on later.
this effectively samples nodes that core believes are diverse based on asmap bucketing logic in netgroup. so this should be the most accurate sample of clearnet node diversity.
i have a script that disconnects from all my peers every 2 minutes to collect data quicker.
currently seeing about 6 nodes out of 76 samples so far (7.8%). will report back after I collect way more data.
