please check it out: http://bitcoinx.com/charts

it is based on data from the last 24h:
  • number of posts
  • number of users that posted
  • average userId (Newb compensation; at the moment 1 old dragon counts 3.5 newbs)


note that despite the big images the site is still a relatively small download (~135k).

I am aware there is a lot to criticize about this approach but I consider it quite useful for a quick glance of what is going on.

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.
Advertised sites are not endorsed by the Bitcoin Forum. They may be unsafe, untrustworthy, or illegal in your jurisdiction.

Make it a top 20 and throw some Google Ads on that thing for yourself, you deserve it.  Nice job, slick and simple.

thanks!

I want to leave it with 10 as some people might be afraid it will concentrate threads too much (similiar to objections in this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=25593.0 where I suggested a good post button)

for advertising I am still hoping to find some good bitcoin based advertisers. maybe I will give google ads a try in the meantime.

Nice!, it seems like a list of posts to make sure you do not post in. Which actually makes it even more valuable.

I expected a comment like this  Wink

you are going up the top10   zlol


I did some experiments with more/less newb compensation and users/posts rate but it has only a small impact on the list.

That and anything that gets locked

did some cleaning up. off-topic and non english boards are not in the top 10 any more. neither are the market boards.

locked topics are not immediately banned yet but will take a couple of hours to fall out of hot topics.

it may take a couple of hours for these changes to fully propagate through the list.

scraper was frozen for the last 19 hours or so because of a weird char encoding problem. should be fixed.

are we done with "alternate cryptocurrencies", should I take them out? maybe not quite yet. if I find the time I might give them their separate 3-5 topics...
