More Than 54 New Working Gemini Capsules in Only a Fortnight

Working capsules bump
In recent days Lupa found about 10 new capsules (like Web sites but in Gemini) per day; as shown above, adoption accelerated a bit as of late (orange is number of active capsules)



Summary: In recent days we saw an upsurge in Gemini Space (or Geminispace), with roughly 10 capsules per day being added to the tally

EXACTLY TWO weeks ago (16/1) we said that Gemini Space (or Geminispace) had gone "From 441 Working Capsules to 1,600 Working Capsules in Just 12 Months". Remember that some get shut down, so the number of new ones isn't a net gain for the overall number of working capsules (some get added, some get removed), so the real number of additions this past fortnight is probably something like 70. This morning Lupa says (as of minutes ago): "We successfully connected recently to 1654 of them."

2,000 total capsules is a milestone going just 4 days back [1, 2] and there are now about 2,040 in total, i.e. an addition of about 10 capsules per day. Way to start the new year! gemini:// rising...
