I've started recording ip's on my block tracker site. Currently connected to 600 nodes but don't want to increase the limit any further as bitcoind cpu usages gets too high.

It will be interesting to to see whether any of these ip's are actually the transaction sender. A lot of them link to personal home pages and stuff.

When i collect enough data i'll use the frequencies of ip's associated with a given address to try and guess the owner.

Just to confirm my own code changes...Are you logging the ip from the 'inv' or the 'tx' message?  I originally logged the 'tx', but realized that the 'inv' message comes first. Smiley
