Yeah, this. The hubs log the public ip of every peer they know about. It's possible to geolocate the IPs and build a map. But I haven't tried it personally.

Opportunity for a side project:

- Take all Hub IPs
- Plot on map

I hacked together a quick and dirty TUI repo for this, the results are pretty interesting! This is using the gossipAddress from the hub logs 

Gonna clean up the code and push it up later

repo: https://github.com/Wazzymandias/hubble-world-ts

json file with ip->location mapping w/ 636 unique IPs: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Wazzymandias/hubble-world-ts/main/data/geoip.json

it's basic but was fun to make! 🌎

I'm seeing someone at the infamous location 0, 0 near Ghana, those IP that can't be located and default to zero...

not realtime though that should be quick to add!

I noticed after a while the same set of ~630ish addresses repeat (which makes sense)

Haha there is one lone soul from Bangalore. Hoping to setup mine too soon

Hub hoster from São Tomé and Príncipe, you're an interesting gentleman.
