Summary:

China has updated its firewall blocking Bitcoin sites and pools, with the suppression being done via banks. This update specifically targeted VPN handshakes. The number of Bitcoin nodes rose dramatically during the China bullrun but dropped as dramatically as the price after the first PBOC announcement designed to cool down Bitcoin trading in China. Mike Hearn suggested adding an email survey to ask why operators stopped running their nodes.
