DMND: The First Full SV2 Mining Pool with Alejandro de la Torre | SLP649 Fixing the problems of FPPS and centralized block template creation with Stratum V2. @Bitentrepreneur, CEO of DMND joins me to share his thoughts on decentralizing mining, the risks of traditional

The "Mining Centralization Index" (with proxy pools) is now updated daily on mainnet-observer: mainnet.observer/charts/mining-…

There are currently about 172M UTXOs. Here is the UTXO set composition by output type: mainnet.observer/charts/utxoset…

There have been close to 1200000000 (1.2 billion) transactions on Bitcoin. mainnet.observer/charts/transac…

More than 42 BTC are now forever lost in provably unspendable OP_RETURN outputs. mainnet.observer/charts/output-…

This is the current hashrate distribution among the top 5 pools when taking AntPool & friends into account. mainnet.observer/charts/mining-…

Currently, more than ~500000000000000000000000 (500 zeta or 5×10²³) hash attempts are required on average to mine a block. mainnet.observer/charts/mining-…

In sum, there have been about 2^96.5 hash attempts for Bitcoin mining (the cumulative log2(work) is 96.5). It's clearly visible when GPU and ASIC mining started. mainnet.observer/charts/mining-…

With 100% of the hashrate, it would currently take about 800 days to rewrite the complete Bitcoin block chain. mainnet.observer/charts/mining-…

This is one of my favorite bitcoin blockchain visuals. The share of low/high r and S values in ECDSA signatures. First high-S is made non-standard and then wallets begin to grind r-values to make smaller signatures. mainnet.observer/charts/bitcoin…

Anyone have the contents of the stale block at height 635366 with hash 0000000000000000000e83ae1e2f069094cc1deab4aede641e028df3c8507b41 ? Gotta catch 'em all!

I have too many other projects currently, but I think this could be a fun side-project for someone: Can we spot public spy-Electrum servers run by Chainanalysis? github.com/0xB10C/project…

I've written a bit about a project I've been working on for a while: peer-observer: A tool and infrastructure for monitoring the Bitcoin P2P network for attacks and anomalies b10c.me/projects/024-p…

"a Brazilian University is building out a Bitcoin Monitoring Lab, I heard". I've been leading such an effort at the Univ. of Brasília, more info soon. Monitoring is one of the most relevant and underrated activities in the Bitcoin ecosystem. I want to contribute to the long

NGU and people who previously derided us for liking bitcoin suddenly talking nice about it is certainly fun and interesting, but it is all for naught if the network isn't sufficiently monitored and defended by those who would like to see bitcoin succeed. tftc.io/bitcoin-yeomen/
