I'm sure from here on it'd be relatively simple to do it as I described. I don't
know how easy it will be to figure out who did which blocks already and
translate that into a total node figure. I guess it depends on how he setup the
logging on the server and how much of a pain it would be to go through
everything (PLUS blocks will be rolling in constantly as he's doing that). We'll
see I guess. I'm eager to see how it goes. :)
