Count next to "Connecting" indicator needs a tooltip

[waldyrious]

It is unclear what the count refers to, and what useful information I, as a user, can extract from it. A tooltip (with a title attribute) would be a nice way to explain what the counter means.

Alternative, for those on mobile, perhaps a small print legend underneath, or an information dialog appearing once it's clicked / tapped, would also work.

tooltip sounds good, I believe it would be fairly low effort to add one while it's connecting.

It's on the list

Some backstory:
The count is looking for a valid unused sequential ID that can be used to connect to the rest of the network. After an address is found (which takes a while) the Connecting indicator doesn't turn green until a connection is made.
The connection does the same thing, looks for a valid connection but it goes much faster because the count is done in the same way but a symmetric connection can be made by the client that the initiator is trying to connect to.

It's pretty effective that I have a feeling all the connections pool up to low IDs
