I think even the puritans are irritated by your behavior in that regard. Hurts their numbers and accomplished nothing but reinforcing the narrative that what little support there is for the RDTS fork was artificial.

Looking forward to your published findings based on the experiment.

To summarize though:  I've been running these nodes long before the spam war started.  I switched to knots last year because I believe that's the right choice, 100k op_return dramatically increases the attack surface of bitcoin and must be stopped.  I then upgraded to knots 29.3+bip110 about 2 weeks ago now, and that's when everyone noticed all the nodes.

These nodes may be viewed as "fake" but they were still handling 80k connections from 35k unique sources.  I actually did control 3k nodes, and I chose to signal bip110.
