And this is only talking about what we can "see" on public LN explorers... not counting PRIVATE NODES with private channels, that seems everybody is ignoring them...

They always ignore private nodes, they only want public nodes with compliance rule

Page 17 is showing only public nodes? Where I'm missing?

Then you must have missed all the private routing and private data sharing metrics.

Please show me the metrics of my private nodes included in that chart. See page no.5 - table of contents of that report.

"Lightning nodes are servers run by participants in the network that allow users to send and receive Lightning payments. There are 1518k public Lightning nodes as of September 2023, with five data sources (Bitcoin Visuals, CoinMetrics, Mempool, Amboss, Glassnode) providing different numbers due to the complexities of mapping the entire network"

River uses a methodology exclude private node. This is in the first pages. I'm not attacking River. I'm questing facts.

Conditional acceptance: I will agree with your statement if you can show me the metrics of my private nodes and channels.

Is it specific to your node? No. Does it show metrics about private data? Yes.

Not sure why you're so thick headed here, there's plenty of private data they have that is not only based on public explorer data.

I guess many people still don't know lightning isn't fully private and there's actually some data they know that others don't.

While this is very impressive, I have changed my mind about how important this number is. It does not seem to correlate with Bitcoin adoption. Especially it seems to show adoption inside the Bitcoin community not adoption into the Bitcoin community.

Didn't mean to respond from survivor account. That is pretty good but with growing adoption this should accelerate in the next couple years.
