Can't say that I have noticed about the number of nodes dropping in and out... the staking still seems to be the same as before, albeit less these days due to the sheer amount of TWIST available.

I do wonder about how else TWIST can promote the project - a lot of TWIST was given out in the beginning with the airdrop as it was... social media marketing campaigns are always good but even that can be a bit of a dud as the word about the coin doesn't necessarily reach everyone... maybe some interviews and those articles might be a way to go.

But if you wanted to look at TWIST would it be a coin that you stumble across? Outside of looking up TWIST coin guess the only other thing would be looking up coins with address that have custom IDs - not sure how many people would be searching for that specifically.
