Is there any way to know, how many clients in a network are mining?
and/or
how many clients are on the network alltogether?
just for fun

If you look in debug.log you can see lines such as
BTTrackers: announced on 62.210.137.203:1337, next announce in 1864 seeconds, got 18 peers:
So there are should be 18 peers although I have 19 connections. Also you can see peer numbers for some events like peer=125, peer=10. According to these numbers my client saw at least 125 peers.
There is no easy way to know how many people are mining. You will need to connect to as many peers as you can and watch how many peers will send you new blocks.
no pool,no exchange ,what's this shit about?
Exactly, this is about decentralization, there will be no pools.
