Interesting challenge! My first thought: 70k probes is a lot and having to set that up is quite a task. Why not develop an phone app with exit node capabilities (similar to Tailscale) so you can use that for probing? The real win is that people move around, obtaining you even more data points from other network.

Imagine solving energy as a side effect of this compute race. There's finally a reason for big money to be invested into energy infrastructure and innovation to solve a problem that can't be solved with traditional approaches.
