It's live. I built a way to experience the Bitcoin network itself. This is a real block being found, captured live. Sound on.
Still Running made Bitcoin News Weekly this morning, in the Adoption column next to Square rolling out Bitcoin payments to 4 million merchants. Two weeks after launch. Thank you @BitcoinNewsCom.

📍أصبح بالإمكان استكشاف شبكة #البيتكوين في الوقت الفعلي وبتقنية ثلاثية الأبعاد!
أطلق @BrandonPirie_ مشروع Still Running، وهو تصور تفاعلي ثلاثي الأبعاد لشبكة البيتكوين، يتيح للمستخدمين مشاهدة المعاملات ونشاط التعدين والكتل الجديدة لحظة بلحظة.
* يمثل كل ضوء معاملة حقيقية تنتظر التأكيد، وتظهر المعاملات ذات الرسوم الأعلى بالقرب من مركز المشهد.
* يعرض عدّاد مباشر تقديرًا لعدد محاولات التعدين، بينما تتنافس مجمعات التعدين حول العالم للعثور على الكتلة التالية.
* عند العثور على كتلة جديدة، يُحدَّد مجمع التعدين الفائز، وتُضاف الكتلة إلى سجل مرئي لسلسلة كتل البيتكوين الممتد منذ عام 2009.
ويمكن للمستخدمين أيضًا إدخال معرّف معاملاتهم الخاصة ومتابعة انتقالها من مجمع المعاملات المعلّقة إلى كتلة مؤكدة.
ما يقرب من 18 عامًا من الكتل، بمعدل كتلة كل 10 دقائق في المتوسط... والشبكة لا تزال تعمل دون توقف!

Satoshi's whitepaper, read inside the live network.
Open it and you fly back up the chain, past block 0, to the day the paper came out. Then you read it with every block landing behind you.

Works on a phone, best on a big screen with sound on.
I wanted to watch Bitcoin run, not its price. So I built Still Running. This morning Bitcoin News wrote it up.
Real transactions waiting. Blocks as they land. The whole chain back to 2009.
Sound on, and wait for the next block.

BITCOIN’S NETWORK CAN NOW BE EXPLORED IN REAL TIME IN 3D
@BrandonPirie_ launches Still Running, an interactive 3D visualization of the Bitcoin network that lets users watch transactions, mining activity, and new blocks as they happen.
Each light represents a real transaction waiting to be confirmed, with higher-fee transactions appearing closer to the center.
A live counter estimates the number of mining hashes attempted as pools around the world compete to find the next block.
When a block is found, the winning mining pool is identified, the block is sealed, and it joins a visual history of Bitcoin’s blockchain stretching back to 2009.
Users can even enter their own transaction ID and watch it move from the mempool into a confirmed block.
Nearly 18 years of blocks, averaging one every 10 minutes and it’s still running.

In January 2009, Hal Finney wrote two words: "Running bitcoin." Seventeen years later, this is what that looks like. Two minutes, sound on. Full film on the site.

Before Bitcoin had a price, it had a whitepaper. 18 years ago today, Satoshi published it. Nobody's stopped it since. Thank you, Satoshi. Still running.

Mt. Gox, 2014. Binance, this week. The companies around Bitcoin can fail. Bitcoin isn't a company. Still running.

If you are wondering about the somewhat muted price impact to Bitcoin after last night's Binance hack, for reference, the MT Gox hack of 2014 was ~750K Bitcoin, which was about 30 days of trading volume at the time. Yesterday's Binance hack was 18,270 Bitcoin, or roughly 1/5th of a single day of Bitcoin's trading volume today, making Mt Gox ~167X worse for price impact.
Every payment you've ever sent did this. You just never got to watch.
Every bitcoin payment waits until a block seals it. Paste your transaction ID and watch yours. This one was sealed by @ViaBTC.

Been listening to the blockchain for a long time

I like that new visualization too.
It's live. I built a way to experience the Bitcoin network itself. This is a real block being found, captured live. Sound on.
The lights are real transactions, waiting. The higher a transaction's fee rate, the closer it sits to the bright center. That's roughly the next block.
The whole time, miners around the world are guessing. A counter estimates how many guesses they've made since you showed up. You'll see it climb while you watch.
When one of them gets it right, the block is sealed, the pool that found it is named, and it joins every block before it, all the way back to 2009.
You can also paste in your own transaction ID and watch it go from waiting to sealed.
A new block every ten minutes or so, for almost 18 years.
Still running.

Works on a phone, but it's best on a laptop or desktop with the sound on. Live data from @mempool.

The minimum viable team keeps shrinking.
AI changed the price of the first honest attempt. Astra just pushed it lower.
I don’t think we’re anywhere near the floor yet.
