Is it because of the UI? I'm kinda surprised you have no dark mode option. As a dark lover myself it would be nice if I can look at the numbers in a dark background. I can see my it looks nicer compared to others, especially because there's no analog clock that jumps around wildly whenever a new block is mined too fast (or too slow) compared to the average.
Mostly because it counts blocks instead of running a clock. The date is an estimate from the recent measured block interval and is labelled as one, so a fast or slow block doesn't move it. The same page has the completed halvings, the supply curve and the fee share of miner revenue. Fair point on dark mode, we don't have one. It's on the list.
Really like how you show the RPC calls so we can rerun it on our own nodes instead of just taking your word for it. The halving one is my fav. I've a few things with that schedule in my art.. 50, 25, 12.5, 6.25, 3.125. Seeing it through the actual coinbase transactions is very cool. Any plans to do one on block 170?
Thanks. Block 170 is on the list now. It suits the format: one getblock call shows the first payment between two people, 10 BTC to Hal Finney with 40 BTC change, spending the block 9 coinbase on January 12, 2009. I'll post here when it's up. Is the halving art online anywhere?
Good call, and overdue. Every story now ends with a Sources list. For Patoshi that is Lerner's thread here from April 13, 2013 (
topic 175996), his bitslog posts of April 17 and 24, 2013, and the April 2019 post where the name Patoshi first appears.
Going back to those sources showed our Patoshi story had errors. We said the miner produced about 22% of early blocks. Lerner's figure is about 22,000 blocks, roughly 40% of the first 50,000. We also had the ExtraNonce fingerprint backwards, and misdated block 50,000 and the end of the pattern. All fixed, with a dated correction note at the bottom of the story that credits you.
We then ran the same check on the other five stories and fixed what we found. Each one lists its corrections at the bottom.
