I agree... I had a quick look at git.

In my opinion, polling random servers that aren't part of the TEKcoin network is something the one should explicitly need to enable. It would be nice if the list of servers was in a configuration file instead.

The collected data could be used to learn more about the behavior of the network. ( not just TEKcoins p2p network).

It would also be interesting to provide an incentive to nodes to provide and share accurate data to those interested.
