Today I decided to update my bitcoin wallet, and sync it with the network. I am now running Bitcoin Core 0.14.2 on my 'full node' machine, and have about 2 months of transactions to catch up on.
The interesting thing is that though there are 1000+ more full nodes on the network, it is updating very slow, and currently reports that I have 2 weeks wait time to get fully sync'd. This tells me, that many of the 1000+ new nodes, are doing the same thing as me and queuing on the network waiting to have update requests fulfilled.
This is a sign that many people are planning to transfer their bitcoin holdings to a private wallet, where they have control and access to the private keys, allowing them to copy and import those private keys into a Bitcoin Cash wallet after the hard fork.

I'm trying to run a full node too and it's taking a long time. I believe with more full nodes up, syncing would become faster though.
