I just created a "Data Scraping and Lead Enrichment" AI Agent in n8n

This is the exact workflow that eliminates 15+ hours of manual research weekly without paying thousands on data tools like ZoomInfo

I want to share something I've been working on.

KasNodes

It's still beta, but I've procrastinated enough and am tired of constantly finding reasons not to share it with the community. It's time to just full send, and hopefully, feedback will help shape it’s future.

The premise is simple—I wanted one hub for everything related to Kaspa Nodes.

As many know, nodes are crucial in maintaining any crypto network. In a truly decentralised network like Kaspa, node operators aren't paid—and that's by design. Paying nodes would risk centralising the network, whereas voluntary participation ensures genuine decentralisation. That's why we must share knowledge, make setting up nodes accessible, and highlight how easy it can be for anyone to contribute.

KasNodes will provide the following (and more):
- Active public node statistics
- Node version distribution and adoption rates
- Network growth over time
- Network ASN distribution and ranking
- Geographic distribution, coverage, rankings (by country and region)
- Easy-to-follow setup guides
- Buy a Node (Zero setup required - more on this later)
- Gamified node rankings (more on this later)
- KasMap (more on this later)

Some future plans:
- Private node statistics
- Protocol metrics (related to nodes)
- Network Snapshot
- Advanced API features

As I mentioned, the page is still what I would consider barely in the Beta phase; sometimes, data will break, and sometimes, I will break the site (whoops lol), but if there is enough interest, I would like to grow this into something truly valuable.

The gamified node rankings feature is still very much in alpha, but here's the concept: node operators can claim their node and proudly display a custom vanity image on the leaderboard. Interestingly, this idea originated from a conversation I had with @DesheShai when we first met in early 2024—it stuck with me as something fun and rewarding that I'd love to build. To maintain privacy and security, I've intentionally chosen to hide IP addresses, instead assigning randomised names to nodes. Anyone can run their own crawler if they choose, but I prefer not to openly display IP addresses publicly. In the future, once a node is claimed, the operator will have the option to decide whether their IP address is shown. While I'm still working out some finer details, I envision this becoming a playful yet meaningful incentive for operators to maintain reliable nodes with excellent uptime and updated versions. Even if it doesn't pan out perfectly, imagining the potential is fun.

The "Buy a Node" option is something I'd love to provide for the community. However, as emphasised on the site, I strongly encourage everyone to first try setting up their own node, ideally by repurposing old equipment they might already have. But for those who genuinely lack the time or technical ability, my goal is to offer a straightforward, plug-and-play alternative.

Initially, I'll be assessing community interest in what's being called the "Essential Node"—a bare-bones, compact, and quiet device solely dedicated to running the Kaspa Node software. (You need a node? This is it!)
In the future, I'd also like to introduce options for more performance-oriented users who might want to run additional applications alongside their node, embracing a self-hosted philosophy. Eventually, there could even be enterprise-grade nodes with built-in redundancy, enhanced performance, and advanced monitoring features—though that's still just a concept depending on demand. If anyone is interested in purchasing any node, please complete the Register Interest form!

Additionally, I'm working on a feature called KasMap—a simple and fun interactive globe that visually displays Kaspa node-related information. The idea behind KasMap is to enable Kaspa users to leave their mark on a digital globe, similar to placing a pin on a physical map. It not only enables users to place their pins but also visually represents where public nodes are located around the world. Users can send 1 $KAS to place their pin along with a personalised message, creating a dynamic and interactive community board. This also serves as a playful way to demonstrate the impressive speed of @KaspaCurrency transactions, as users visually experience how quickly their transactions are confirmed.

I would also love to ask the community:
- What features would you like to see on KasNodes?
- What node-related information is most important to you?
- Is there anything you dislike or would change?
- Do you want to get involved? DM me.

I'm building KasNodes entirely in my spare time, so progress may be slow. If you feel strongly about this project's potential and would like to support its development, any form of donation would be genuinely appreciated (my donation address is at the bottom of the KasNodes page). Your support means a lot and helps turn this vision into reality.

Check it out, have a play, and please let me know what you think!

NOTE: There is ultimately NO way to determine precisely how many nodes exist with 100% certainty. This uncertainty is inherent in decentralised P2P networks, intentionally designed to prevent central points of failure or censorship.
The estimated number of unique peers in the Kaspa network is determined by analysing peer IDs and IP addresses shared through the P2P network. This estimation approach provides our best understanding of the network's size while acknowledging the intentionally decentralised and somewhat obfuscated nature of the P2P system.

Heads up, crypto investors! The IRS is making BIG changes starting Jan 1, 2025, and if you don’t prep now, you could pay more in taxes or face penalties.

Here’s what you need to do before the year-end to avoid penalties, save money, and stay ahead of the game. 🧵
