There are two versions, one built from stock code, the other modified to accept up to 1,000 nodes (hence the super node name)

I’d rather you didn’t make a build of the 1000 node connecting version available. It won’t take very many people running that before we have to make another release just to limit the incoming connections.

I appreciate your concern; the current release version already limits connections to 8, this one won’t establish hundreds of connections to a single client or node, it’s just modified to allow hundreds of connections back to it from independent clients. I figured since I have the CPU and bandwidth horsepower, why not put it to good use for Bitcoin?
