Comment on What happens when half of the IPFS network is down?parent

Someone did some digging on various non-Bitcoin crypto coins and found that a huge percentage of the whatever it is they run were just running on AWS.

I guess you mean nodes?

I only found this, which is about eth: https://www.reddit.com/r/Buttcoin/comments/z4e4g1/60_eth_nod...

Worth correcting: 59% of hosted nodes use Amazon, or 37% of all nodes. If you filter out unsynced nodes, about 17% of all nodes are hosted on Amazon.

That looks like it might be what I saw; of course all the tiny cryptos are run on only a few machines, but the cloud providers are huge.
