China stuff is mentioned at: cirosantilli.com/china-dictatorship/bitcoin-blockchain.

There's a bit of both sides in the 2016 race:

tx 210000d1392bec2505d1289e5c39c2039204ff1ecf7eef55f973ccd3111003e1, block 360235 (2015-06-10) and the following transactions have transcripts of a very long developer chat starting with:

TODO purpose? The transcripts are interspersed with developers likely voting for project leadership, and commenting on Gavin.

TODO find original discussion location, these are almost certainly from one of the Bitcoin IRC channels.

Part of the goal of this dump is that the Bitcoin developers have a policy of not allowing logging on their talk channel, and this released it all to the blockchain forever where it cannot be deleted. These might just be more of protests against larger block sizes.

OK, Oleg Shakirov's findings inspired Ciro Santilli to try Yandexing a bit more...

alljohnny.com had a hit: ipinf.ru/domains/alljohnny.com/, and so Ciro started looking around... and a good number of other things have hits.

Not all of them, definitely less data than viewdns.info.

But they do reverse IP, and they show which nearby reverse IPs have hits on the same page, for free, which is great!

Shame their ordering is purely alphabetical, doesn't properly order the IPs so it is a bit of a pain, but we can handle it.

OMG, Russians!!!

The data here had a little bit of non-overlap from other sources. 4 new confirmed hits were found, plus 4 possible others that were left as candidates.

God, I love this company so much.
