They could create a million nodes, it would make no difference. You are wasting your own time with these questions.
why? i thought changes on the protocoll are voted by full nodes? am i wrong?Quote
I made a thread about something similar a couple years back. Somebody popped up a lot of (clearnet) nodes. At the time I was thinking that they're either trying to do a connection-exhaust attack or partitioning attack. I'm having trouble finding it right now. In practice, it usually creates a high cost for the attacker with very little to no gain.
what is a connection-exhaust attack or a partitioning attack?tl;dr;
why are there now 2000 instead of 200 full nodes behind TOR after just one week
It's not likely to be an 'attack' , unless they also started mining above 51% network hash rate - collectively.
Basically, very improbable if not impossible.
Oh snap! Hehe, currently 2225 .onion's ...

Also, it's not TOR - it's Tor.
P.S. Monitoring the number of connections (only) on my own dedicated Tor nodes - nothing to unusual to report - yet!
