The Bitcoin Blockchain Visualized in 3D

This looks like something from Tron, trippy. The height of the block is the amount of BTC, there are some huge (thousands of BTC) transactions happening. On a semi related note, I built a 3D visualization (globe) to see where these blocks are geographically mined. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;coinminingstats.com&#x2F;globe" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;coinminingstats.com&#x2F;globe</a>

&quot;It&#x27;s a UNIX system! I know this.&quot;<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=URVS4H7vrdU" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=URVS4H7vrdU</a>

Saw this live in Miami at IOHK’s conference. They had a VR version setup for the public. A beautiful interactive tech art rendering that visualizes the “living creature” an active blockchain resembles.

Great illustration of disparity between transaction values. Massive majority of transactions are below 0.1 BTC. And then almost every block includes a transaction of a few thousand BTC. I&#x27;d love to see something like this for Visa network.

Reminds me of a dramatized GUI from CSI or a hacking sequence in a movie.

There are a lot of big bars in there, like 4000Btc transactions. Does anyone have a sense of whether those usually represent private buying&#x2F;selling of coins, or are they exchanges like Coinbase cashing in&#x2F;out, lightning network, etc? What&#x27;s the story of these massive trades?

The music sounds like the intro music from Tarkovsky&#x27;s Stalker.<p>Edit: Link for those interested: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=Kgocncu6MBw" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=Kgocncu6MBw</a>

Now let&#x27;s see something similar but for a private coin such as Monero! :-P

It tells me there are only 30.000 transactions? In the last block? Because that number seems very small compared to the hype that surrounds Bitcoin if that is &quot;All Transactions of all time&quot;

Yeah, yeah, Bitcoin valuation makes no sense. But it is a beautiful realisation of the Cyberpunk dreams of freedom.

Well this is just awesome! Glad to see IOHK is putting some of that Cardano loot to use in fun ways :)

I enjoyed this a lot, thank you :)

Wow, cool. I&#x27;m not going to try and get it but I appreciate the aesthetics

OP, did you make this?

mycelium network ;)

All his effort and the site is completely unusable on mobile Safari and barely&#x2F;confusingly usable on mobile Firefox - I gave up about 20 seconds into it.<p>what’s the point of all the nerdiness if it’s unusable.
