But anyway this stat is concerning, since there are also a lot of nodes under GCP, DigitalOcean and other clouds.
I run my own node, it won't guaranty that my LSPs don't host on any clouds, though
Embarrassing π
That is just concerning at this point

Nice lesson to those relying on centralized nodes.
#asknostr : is it still consider decentralise if your server is owned by centralised hosting? π€

im actually pleasantly surprised at the diversity in this chart.
Quite dumb of us
If you dig deep enough pretty much everything is centralizedβ¦..

we need decentralisation of CLOUD WEB SERVICES!
70% of ln nodes survived an aws apocalipse. not so bad actually
Lightning was never something to be permanent it's a custodial solution nobody runs LN nodes. Again this is all @Luke Dashjr fault.

Roughly 40% of Bitcoin nodes also went down with the AWS problems. Not good! (Based on Bitnodes.io data)
