user139672: I have been running Bitcoin Core on Gentoo for some time. The current version I’m running is v22.0.0.
The node works well, ports are open and bitnodes.io sees my node. So far so good.
The problem is that one of the parameters on bitnodes is zero for my node, and I can’t find a way to change it. The parameter is called NI (Node index).
What may be the issue? Does someone understand why this is happening?


user13866: According to https://bitnodes.io/nodes/leaderboard/
NI = Nodes index
    NI = √(rs)
        rs = rank score
        r = rank of i
        i = p ∩ n
        p = peers returned in addr responses
        n = number of reachable nodes
        Largest i (99th percentile) is ranked 1 followed by the next largest i

So I guess you'd have to check that you have a large number of reachable peers.
But really I think this is something you'd probably have to ask bitnodes themselves about.
