[Bitcoin-development] Modularizing Bitcoin

[Addy Yeow]

Is the number representing the count for the client nodes?

I was curious of the count myself earlier this week and started to
traverse down the network using getaddr message starting from seed
nodes and found upward to 57k nodes running protocol >= 70001 with
timestamp no older than 24 hours.
