This repository is (or aims to be) the most complete list of Bitcoin Visualizations on the Internet.
Please, feel free to suggest new projects or improvements to the list :)

Wow, good to see all them great projects in one place, I like Bitcoin city.

I had an idea like that about a year ago, Bitcoin visulisations are a great way to look at Bitcoin translations

All these 27 visualizations ideas are tremendous and very useful for me. I have an intention to try to create an visualization on my own. But I differed it a long time ago. After seeing this list I got much interest to add it to my To do list. Thanks for listing that on github and also posting here. I will also notify if I find any other than there are not listed.

Thanks for sharing and collecting all those links. Some of them are really nice to watch at.
I like http://spottedmarley.com/thinkabout/bitcoin-traffic/ at most.

Thank you for your suggestion!
I believe Oxt is a great tool for historical data analysis, but I'm not able to find any realtime/live data visualizations there, which is the common ground between all the projects listed here.
Please correct me if I missed something.

These are really cool, I've bookmarked the page :) http://analytx.io/map (http://analytx.io/map) is definitely the nicest imho, some of them are pretty buggy or have obnoxious sounds

^ I like that, it reminds of me of the Norse map (http://map.norsecorp.com)

This also looks good but doesn't work on the iPad (I get a car about every 5 minutes), will look at it on laptop later.

Ooops... My bad !  ::)
I was focused on 'visualization' appearing in the title but I totally missed the fact that realtime/live data was another criteria.
You're 100% right. OXT processes the blocks with a delay of a few hours. So, it's
Anyway, thanks for the list. It allowed me to discover fun visualizations of the blockchain !

Just saw some of the visualizations. They are awesome. Are you still working on bringing new visualizations? I would like to see, if you can create puppies, penguins that carry bitcoins of different size.

Nice.You got a good list over here mate . Though some of the visualizations are really not clear visually example this one http://spottedmarley.com/thinkabout/uᴉoɔʇᴉq-traffic/ ,you can't really make out what's happening due the color combination.Did you forget to add this one ? http://blockr.io/ That is a powerful visualizing tool indeed.

bitbonkers is nice. Good job on that . The thing with these visualization are though they look nice, they are not of much use in day - day activity. We need some visualization that have practical use.

I have idea of a mempool visualization , in which we can search a given transaction. It should be able to show the priority of tx in the mempool queue. This way people waiting for their tx to get confirmed can get an idea of the timeframe / priority.  Let me know if this idea sounds interesting.

I welcome your idea. You may also include to predict the fee to initiate the transaction for faster confirmation. If it comes out nicely, then many people will start to use it.

I am only responsible for creating the list and one of the projects (bitcoincity.info), all others were found online and have different authors. This list includes only realtime visualizations of bitcoin related objects, like transactions, blocks or nodes. There are many great block explorers with awesome ways to visualize txs, blocks, chains, etc., but you're watching historical info and not realtime, so those are not the purpose of this list. These visualizations show many different ways you can take some data and present it in a pleasent way. Some are more detailed than others, some are more data-driven while others give more relevance to the visual part. I agree that most might not have a great practical use, but it depends on what you need. In some of them, you can have them monitoring your own addresses with a little tweak, or make analysis on specific types of transactions...

@btc_enigma: your idea sounds interesting, but I don't think you can predict for sure how long it will take until a tx gets included in a block, since it's always up to the miner to decide which transactions are included in his block.
