Bitfeed

This repo hosts the code behind Bitfeed (bits.monospace.live), which is a live visualization of Bitcoin network activity, focusing on the journey from unconfirmed transactions to confirmed blocks.

Installing

Install on a local machine or hardware node to run a personal copy of the visualization.

Prerequisites

The Bitfeed server relies on a local instance of Bitcoin Core, compiled with ZeroMQ enabled. Fee-related data requires an unpruned node with txindex=1.
