image Thinking of adding a drifting block mode that allows randomly selected blocks to drift in and out. If you have a large digital display, let it run in the background. You will have (currently) 902836 beautiful blocks as artworks appearing on your display over time. Live Block stream currently refreshes to the latest block however random drifting mode allows you to explore blocks all over the chain 😎

Drawing #Bitcoin Block Height: 800000 & Block Height: 500000 Drawn with I built this tool to help me visualize blocks that will be made into physical art works. View on as big a screen as possible for best detail. Hit the arrow on the side to turn it into a live display without the info bars.

Drawing #Bitcoin Exciting update. I’ve translated the visual programming script I created to visualize blocks into a web based tool to visualize, compare and contrast blocks in real time. Now live for you to have fun with. Works better on desktop, simplified version for mobile. Transactions within blocks are plotted at log scale with a radial distribution based on btc transaction size. Up to two blocks at a time can be visualized and compared. Interesting insights into blocks can be seen instantly. Currently powered by the api and would like to self host soon. Also a proto-type so excuse the bugs and might get a bit laggy if overloaded! This tool was originally created for myself to create physical art works of blocks and I’ll be launching work on the platform soon where physical art works will be available. More updates soon on this. Excited to share this and tagging in again all the bitcoin artists who have inspired me along the way on this project. Especially @TC whose work and recent conversations helped push this to the next level. Have fun with the tool and hopefully this will inspire more bitcoin art and visualization! @M A D E X @Brekkie @Bitcoin Apex @npub1r0pw...6zy4 @Bitcoin Artist Guild @npub1frac...r6de @Kanuto @modeotecArt @Scarce.City

Drawing Bitcoin Some blocks have thousands of transactions, early blocks have hundreds… This snapshot of block 210 000 captures clusters of transactions around 1 BTC Block - 210 000 Timestamp – 2012.11.28 15:28:38 UTC Transactions – 457 Coinbase – 25 BTC + 13.563 Difficulty – 3438908.9601591383 Weight – 796.51 kWU Size – 199.13 kb Hash –000000000000048b95347e83192f69cf0366076336c639f9b7228e9ba171342e #bitcoin

Drawing Bitcoin One of the first challenges of this project was to understand and establish a scale for drawing blocks. I wanted to represent them at a scale and detail with high resolution that allowed them to be unique and comparable. I wanted to express each transaction within a block and log scale emerged as one of the only ways to draw data with such wide ranges without too much abstraction. Re-sized 1 btc to 150mm this works nicely for now for the first 1,000,000 blocks at a 700 x 700 canvas size First drawing captures the first 4 halving blocks as a comparative study; 210000 - 2012.11.28 420000 - 2016.07.09 630000 - 2020.05.11 840000 – 2024.02.20 The drawing shows an expected pull of transactions towards the centre as the mining reward decreases and the btc price surges. Second drawing shows the mining reward as a layer on top showing the relationship between transaction ranges and reward.

Over the last couple of months, I've been developing a project that has reached a level of clarity where I can excitedly start to share… I've been mapping bitcoin blocks, applying similar methodologies I would use when drafting architectural plans or landscapes. The project establishes a consistent visual language and scale that preserves data integrity, detail and resolution that allows block-to-block comparisons without excessive abstraction. The aim of the work is to create and develop a bitcoin block cartography that explores ways to represent and understand bitcoin, blocks and its history. I’ll start posting more about the project over the next couple of weeks and the various blocks that I’ve begun to map and compare. Finally, I’d like to give a shout out to all the bitcoin creatives & artists that I’ve followed over the years who continue to create amazing work and who have inspired me to pursue this project. @M A D E X @Brekkie @Bitcoin Apex @npub1r0pw...6zy4 @Bitcoin Artist Guild @npub10nnd...2zeh @npub1frac...r6de @Kanuto @modeotecArt @Scarce.City @satoshigallery @timechaingallery
