Still Running Maps Bitcoin Transactions and Estimated Mining Activity in 3D

Users can enter a transaction ID to follow it from the mempool into a confirmed block. A live counter estimates hash attempts by mining pools competing for the next block.

Still Running, a 3D Bitcoin (BTC) visualization from @BrandonPirie_, lets users trace pending transactions into confirmed blocks while viewing estimated mining activity and historical block production.

Users can enter a transaction ID to follow it from the mempool, where unconfirmed transactions wait, into a confirmed block. The display represents pending transactions as lights, placing those with higher fees nearer the center.

A live counter estimates hash attempts by mining pools worldwide as they compete to produce the next block. After a block is found, the tool identifies the winning pool and adds the block to a visual history extending back to 2009.

Bitcoin produces a block roughly every 10 minutes on average. The tool brings transaction tracking, an estimate of mining activity and the historical record into one view.
