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

Easy to ignore what you do not see.

I am happy that they do not see... Let them mumble into the darkness

You didn't read it then if that's what you think it is about.

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

Please explain me how River will know about all private nodes and channels.

Good question
reply
I read it all.

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.
I see none

"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"

That's one section. Go back and read the beginning and the other sections.

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

Is not about River's document. Nobody is "attacking" anybody here, we are just pointing out that the report is OK, but only for public nodes. (those we can "see").
many people still don't know that exist two types of nodes LOL
How many private nodes and channels exist right now?

wrong

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