[FINISHED] ListenToBitcoin.com - music generated from realtime transaction data.

[dserrano5]

@IntrepidMiner: I like your recent changes. Keep up the good work .

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

+1. So I can close clarkmoody/mtgoxlive and keep just one websockets connection.

Wow. I just wish I could create a donation-attracting monster like that

[Bitobsessed]

Had to post this one.  Biggest I have seen so far: BTC3046.70
And it reminds me of pink elephants on parade, especially at 2:40 when he blows square bubbles!

[cavveman]

Wow, I cant believe you managed to create this awesome site
Did you use something more then javascripts?

[tosku]

Nicely done. The sounds reminds me a bit of a song called "Sinus" by the Swedish artist Paola.

Very creative.  Good job on it!

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


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!

Really nice. I like it much. thank you! :-)

Are you able to add a mode in wich the bubbles inplode in the blocks and the blocks are like stairs, that go in the deep. so you can see the shades of the entiere blockchain in the middle of the screen and the new block coming from the borders of the window and including the bubbles while slowly shrinking to the middle of the screen to the rest of blockchain and waiting for new bubbles and new block and so on? that would really look amazing. :-D

listen to transactions is working but trades just sits there connecting, been like that all day.. know why?  other websocket fed sites seem ok.

ahh this looks great but doesn't seem to be working at the moment! (Latest chrome)

Really want a listen! haha

Works on Chrome for me, but it took a long time to connect.

And let me say, this is really cool.

The sound is great, and I bet I could listen to it all day while working. Although flipping to the page to see how big those deep tones are might be a bit distracting... ;-)

I can confirm that sound is missing on latest chrome/Ubuntu, while it works on firefox.

Feature proposal: my computer is not a high-end one and is fully maxed out when I watch the bubbles passing by. Displaying the page on a WUXGA monitor loads both my cores fully and starts stuttering after a while, so I end up opening it in a small browser window or even minimized to enjoy the sound of silence. Would it be doable to configure the display refresh rate, or at least reduce it to 1 fps?


Finally: anyone found more than one easter-egg?

[NightAss]

omg thats cool

2 things I would like to see

1 a wallpaper and or screen saver of this


2 a spot where I can enter my address or a list of addreses so it plays a difrent sound when its money coming from me or sent by me


othere then that its cool  I would have loved to have to have herd the sound of the bitcoin crash a few days ago lol

[DeeSome]

Brilliant site, love it

[yogi]

The site has not been working for me recently. It's failing to connect to blockchain and gox. Is it just me, or is anyone else having this problem?

it's been taking longer then it used to yea, but it usually eventually connects.

[felente]

simply brilliant idea.
decent, artistic and fascinating work )
this is THE way, which will attract more people to bitcoin... to anything new in general.

my suggestions:

would be fine to
* show exchange rates and let sound the direction => ie overall tone going higher/lower together with rates.
(loop increasing/decreasing in tones-range? in some way, not sure)...
then we'll get arty, absolutely incredible financial ticker
besides it will be very accessibility oriented.

* add an option to choose what to show in bubbles (amount/currencies/rates/anything/nothing in bubbles/nothing at all)?
that will make it even simpler and faster by preference, on slow HW or at heavy "traffic" there.

* and keep all that decent and beautiful as is
it's ya audio project at most as i see... as i hear.

already more than a great job. thumbs up.

[Welsh]

Wow, this is terrific!

[bitkapp]

Awesome job, i've been following your progress for a while. One suggestion might be to have red bubbles for sells and green bubbles for buys, atleast for mtgox transactions? Might be cool to have a real-time visual of what's going on in terms of buying and selling.
