Title: Realtime Bitcoin Globe - How is this possible?
Post by: BlackHatCoiner on July 02, 2020, 05:36:26 PM
https://blocks.wizb.it/

In this site it shows a bitcoin realtime transaction globe.

Are these IP addresses from bitcoin nodes? You can notice that sometimes they are the same. Does it have to do with the selected IPs of wallets?

If yes then, the nodes' owners know who is sending the funds, right? Is this good?

Hi OP love these sort of sites -showing something a bit different to the norm, but it needs a bit of work/tweaking as it’s making me ill !!!! Can’t watch it long enough to work out how it works - it’s like dropping a dose  :)

It now happens to me too. But why?  ???

It was like a google earth but every second it was showing different places of the planet that transactions were successfully mined.

I'm pretty stupid with PCs/tech...but I do believe this is simply your web browser telling you that it's not something they can confirm is trustworthy.  I don't know if it's based on the IP being flagged by the browser, maybe the IP is dirty, not sure (hopefully someone can chime in)..but I do know it doesn't mean that there's for sure anything wrong with the site.  Maybe there's no locked connection, ensuring the browser /web server speak with encryption.

There is something wrong here with this website and certificate.
Even after ignoring all this, I am getting ERROR: Unable to connect to server!

Yeah, because it's trying to connect to an https page that doesn't have updated certificate. Also I'm pretty sure the client's certificate isn't the only problem that we can't see the globe. The server's certificate too. Both of those must accept the risk in order to watch the page, not only the client.

Strange, it seems the site is not very secure. Shows that the connection is not secure, it is better not to take risks. I see that other users have this problem.

each SSL certificate has an expiration date which the website owner has to extend before it is reached. for example bitcointalk's certificate is valid until October 9. this particular site's SSL was valid from 4/4/2020 to 7/3/2020 which is today and when your browser receives that certificate and sees the expiration date has been past it gives you a warning.

as for how it works it is based on the IP address of the node that sent the website's node the transaction. whether the sending node is where the transaction originated from is not something that the receiving node can know.

I guess the website has been reported to Google for malicious activity as I am also getting the same warning message that my network is not secure. I have tried accessing this website using Brave, Edge, and Chrome and all are giving me the same warning message.

I guess the website has been reported to Google for Walgreens Survey (https://www.walgreenslistens.mobi/) malicious activity as I am also getting the same warning message that my network is not secure.

I'm pretty sure the client's certificate isn't the only problem that we can't see the globe. The server's certificate too. Both of those must accept the risk in order to watch the page, not only the client.
