Bitcoin Forum

maybe this should go under speculation, but here t is

I think bitcoin world needs some kind of countdown page,
for everyone to see when block reward is going to be halved
with difficulty changes taken into account and all that

this could help the hype about its scarcity.
It would be nice to see many sites link to it

I have seen the analogue clock, but something digital,
with some text about the change.



P.S.
it is really weird to see spelling checker warning in the word "bitcoin"
especially on this forum

http://p2pmining.com/ <there is a counter on this site.

that is what I thought about
but self standing like http://bitcoinclock.com/

with more text

and some adds could find a place to be

i knew about this one, but it is to static

digital has more life to it

Is this what you envision? http://www.7is7.com/otto/countdown.html

OK! Let's build it! Name some of the categories, like: Total coins in circulation; resting coins; #Pools; #Miners; Exchange rate (list all currencies); etc.

Who can build this? I would pay for it.

My intention was to pay for it fully out of my pocket, but would accept any donations (there is no address for this, so don't contribute). What I'll seek is a coder that can build it. I'll seek input from the community as to what it should consist of.

yesss

btc statistics all in one place

here are some stats
http://bitcoinstats.org/

basically
all from
http://www.bitcoinwatch.com/
and
there is a blue-ish site with mostly charts, it has days destroyed, total transaction volume and all that

but this new site should focus on dynamic data,
so that allways something is changing on the screen

 if it is possible to have total number of nodes in the network,
it sure would look nice

top 21 addresses by size :)


top 21 transactions of the last block
average transaction size in the last block
total number of transaction in last block

time elapsed after last discovered block and name of the pool that mined it

                                           hourly
% of the price change from the daily weighted average
                                           weekly
                                           monthly
                                           yearly


total sum of all bids and asks on all exchanges combined

The total number of network nodes is a statistic that is possible to collect today but some day it won't be collectable because the developers made a change to Bitcoin's behavior. (New clients only advertise nodes that are able to receive incoming connections. It is a good change.) I'm going to have to take it off of BitcoinStats.org some day and I'm planning on replacing it with a count of the various user-agents that are used. Currently no website reports this (because only Bitcoin version 0.6 even uses it at all). For example, How many people are running Electrum? We have no idea.

Edit: After coding the necessary code and running a test for a few minutes, here is a sample of the user agents I'm seeing. This is the user agent in parenthesis followed by a colon, followed by a count of the number of this user agent I saw.

'.ljr2': 1, '/Satoshi:0.5.99/Eligius:3/': 1, '/bitcoin-qt:0.6.0/': 8, '/bitcoin-qt:0.5.99/': 5, '/Satoshi:0.6.0/': 27

I'm not sure what .ljr2 is but obviously LukeJr has something to do with it.

That's a hell of a start. Now to make it more dynamic like http://www.usdebtclock.org/, but with a better looking site.

Who's here is capable of building such a site and for approximately how much?
