<p>Basically the idea was to create a tiny service such as <a href="http://nodecounter.com/" rel="nofollow">nodecounter.com</a>.</p>

<p>Now I would appreciate your help on the following questions:</p>

<ul>
<li>How to determine the Software (Core, Classic, XT, etc.) and quantity on the whole network?</li>
<li>How to determine the last 1k blocks and their Miner Software?</li>
</ul>

<p>I would start from scratch, but if you know about any open source projects, preferably in NodeJS or PHP, I would really appreciate a hint.</p>

Basically the idea was to create a tiny service such as [nodecounter.com](http://nodecounter.com/).

Now I would appreciate your help on the following questions:

* How to determine the Software (Core, Classic, XT, etc.) and quantity on the whole network?
* How to determine the last 1k blocks and their Miner Software?

I would start from scratch, but if you know about any open source projects, preferably in NodeJS or PHP, I would really appreciate a hint.
