FWIW it’s not quite so simple. It’s really gonna bias towards small ISPs. Comcast may have 300 nodes but you’re gonna bias towards the nodes on random networks across the world or small hosting providers with one node. I do agree that it’s a better sample (mostly cause it’ll also bias away from OVH/GCloud/Hetzner), but I’m not sure it’s great either.

yes this thought came to me. I was also thinking what would happen if you spun up 100,000 core nodes behind tor. asmap wouldn’t help you here.
