 Yea my node went offline 2 days ago mysteriously.  
 I am still running a node =) 
 bitnodes hasnt been a good accurate count in years 
 Is there a place or service that is accurate? 
 can look on multiple sources, wont get a concrete count anywhere..its like trying to determine how many web servers there are.

here's some of luke dashjr info

as for the tor issue, expect that to always be fluctuating 
 As long as my node works and has 1+ peer i’m chillin 
 How does someone calculate offline and tor nodes when they can’t be scanned for 
 I’m not asking how. It was rhetorical  
 I understand 
 Mine are down due to heat. 
 I heard that a nearby node behind TOR had no issues in the last days :) 
 Mine is still up.
