I just finished this site, which generates music from realtime Bitcoin transactions and trades, pulled from Blockchain.info and Mt.Gox. Hopefully I put this in the right subforum Wink

http://www.listentobitcoin.com/
Works with Chrome and Firefox (maybe Opera too.)

It's written heavily using javascript. Hope you like it, and I'd love to hear any feedback you have! There's also a Reddit thread with some more info.

Thanks!

i belive its the right catagory

I do have one question tho, why are some in BTC and then some in BTC/usd are the BTC/USD ones trades on mtgox? Also this includes ones that are btc/ some other fiat like JPY

Also for firefox seems that if switch tabs all the bubles get held up at the bottom of the screen until i switch over again. I still hear all the music just the visuals kinda freeze until i view it.Not sure if this was intended or not.

Lastly would be a neat feature todo colored bubbles for sizes of transactions or if its from a know/popular address, or like the donation bubble isntead saying mtgox or something. Just some ideas, cool site tho

By the way, why the choice for vibraphone sounds?

Favorite instrument I guess? I also had some inspiration from Tonematrix.

just thought of a great idea, You should add to specific addresses so for example http://www.listentobitcoin.com/1addresshere would do live streaming of transactions getting sent here

You should add a "semi-silent" mode where transactions to/from 1dice addresses are left out...  Cheesy

Really nice! I have a couple of suggestions:

  • When two bubbles appear simultaneously, you can see that they go up at exactly the same pace. You could add a bit of randomization to the vertical speed so their movement is more real.
  • Pitch depending on logarithm of transaction amount, suggested elsewhere too.
  • You could arrange the notes so that they align with the chord of the last found block to achieve basic harmony. E.g. a new block is found and a C major chord is played, then the notes of the next transactions could be limited to C, D, E, G and A; next block arrives and a G major chord is played, after that the notes of the transactions would be limited to G, A, B, D and E. Then F major… endless possibilities here.
  • Regarding different instruments for different transactions, being able to configure this would be awesome. Even an on/off switch would be ok for me.
  • Big market orders on mtgox are a problem in the sense that they are obviously recognized from the rush of played notes. They could be grouped (not very aggresively) so that less notes are played.
Good work, and congrats for achieving HN #1!

Excellent work!

A few more suggestions.

1) Can you make the data source selectable, i.e., I might want to see only MtGox or Blockchain or both.

2) Can you color SatoshiDice transactions a different color, like green?

TIA!

Another "idea": from time to time a gentle gust of wind could make all the bubbles tend to move towards the left or right. Not an idea actually since it just happened naturally in my browser, and I liked the effect.

Another idea...for MtGox trades, color the bubble different if the trade happens at an all-time-high in any currency.

It will be fun to see the screen fill up with all-time-high bubbles. I am sure people will take screenshots and share.

Or just green bubbles when it's a buy trade and red bubbles for sells.

I second that. Some color would be nice.

Also, it might be more useful to put the trade price in the bubble instead of the trade value...
