Assumpte: [Libbitcoin] Node Addresses on the fastcoin network
I have written a program which counts the nodes on a network. It uses the
getaddress message and reads address messages. In an address message on
the fastcoin network I counted almost five hundred nodes.

For a coin which is for the most part an economic failure, I found the
count surprising. I also noticed that over 99% of the nodes coming from
the address messages are offline when trying to connect.

I use boost 1.60 and libbitcoin. It takes a long time to try to establish
bitcoin network connections with hundreds of thousands of end points.
Most of these do not connect, and the software is probably hitting home
firewalls.
