In a follow-up the next day, Satoshi provided debugging information:
I’m currently connected to 70.113.114.209 since yesterday.
He noted that if Bohm wasn’t connected to that IP, then the problem was on Bohm’s end — he couldn’t make outgoing connections either.
The IP address 70.113.114.209 was later identified by researchers (documented in a Decashed analysis) as likely belonging to Dustin Trammell, who was based in the Round Rock/Austin, Texas area. This aligns with what is known about Trammell being one of the most consistent early Bitcoin node operators during this period.
The exchange is an operational snapshot of the Bitcoin network in July 2009: Satoshi’s own node was connected to just a single other peer — one of the few remaining active nodes on the entire network.
