I have updated the info graphic to (hopefully) make it more clear. It can be found here:
https://i.imgur.com/unHI8aH.pngsatelites only used for crypto networks...?
https://blockstream.com/satellite/ currently offers broadcasts of each new block added to the blockchain and have announced that they will route transaction for a small fee. I think further in the future we will see more Bitcoin satellites coming online (including miners, perhaps in 100 years).
www->btc network[mining]->satellite[broadcast]->(+)->electric
I think the previous design was to cluttered making it easy to read this way. I have tried to space the graphic out more. Perhaps I need even more white space to reduce overhead in interpreting it.
all arrows lead to electric??
www->internet[physical]->(+)-> electric
All computers use electricity. The info graphic is meant to show that the physical layer of the internet consumes electric to route packets, mining consumes electric, and operating a satellite requires electric. As far as operating a full node and lighting node goes, they have been left off the info graphic because they don't consume that much electric relative to the others and don't seem to add much value.
I am considering adding more ecosystems to this graphic such as other networks that are used to tie into the overall Bitcoin ecosystem. Some suggestions I have received have been Tor and Freenet.
I am also interested into turning this into an interactive website that one can click through and explore each component of the ecosystem in more detail and perhaps links to wikis with even more knowledge.
Currently, I think this as a potential downside as it make overwhelmed the reader, but I could also use JavaScript to show add to the graphic as they are ready to dig deeper. I think pictures like these can help people understand complex topic quickly that may otherwise take hours to grasp.
Looking forward to feedback as always
