I've persistent my notes on the May 2023 Bitcoin Core node DoS problems. These are background information for the disclosure from last year. When non-ideal sorting, mass BRC-20 mints, and spy nodes caused a CPU Denial-of-Service on the Bitcoin network: b10c.me/observations/1…

Updated statistics on compact block reconstructions from @0xB10C's Bitcoin network monitoring: "on 2025-09-17, I switched the nodes to run with a lowered minrelayfee. That’s also visible in both the reconstruction rate getting better and having to request a lot less data from…

hey @github can you help me understand why my account was suspended without any notice? this is extremely disheartening! 💔 I'm funded by @Vinteum_org to do Bitcoin FOSS on the @StratumV2 project, so my github account is primordial for my livelihood.

NGU and people who previously derided us for liking bitcoin suddenly talking nice about it is certainly fun and interesting, but it is all for naught if the network isn't sufficiently monitored and defended by those who would like to see bitcoin succeed. tftc.io/bitcoin-yeomen/

"a Brazilian University is building out a Bitcoin Monitoring Lab, I heard". I've been leading such an effort at the Univ. of Brasília, more info soon. Monitoring is one of the most relevant and underrated activities in the Bitcoin ecosystem. I want to contribute to the long…

I have too many other projects currently, but I think this could be a fun side-project for someone: Can we spot public spy-Electrum servers run by Chainanalysis? github.com/0xB10C/project…

Anyone have the contents of the stale block at height 635366 with hash 0000000000000000000e83ae1e2f069094cc1deab4aede641e028df3c8507b41 ? Gotta catch 'em all!


This is one of my favorite bitcoin blockchain visuals. The share of low/high r and S values in ECDSA signatures. First high-S is made non-standard and then wallets begin to grind r-values to make smaller signatures. mainnet.observer/charts/bitcoin…


With 100% of the hashrate, it would currently take about 800 days to rewrite the complete Bitcoin block chain. mainnet.observer/charts/mining-…


In sum, there have been about 2^96.5 hash attempts for Bitcoin mining (the cumulative log2(work) is 96.5). It's clearly visible when GPU and ASIC mining started. mainnet.observer/charts/mining-…


Currently, more than ~500000000000000000000000 (500 zeta or 5×10²³) hash attempts are required on average to mine a block. mainnet.observer/charts/mining-…


This is the current hashrate distribution among the top 5 pools when taking AntPool & friends into account. mainnet.observer/charts/mining-…


More than 42 BTC are now forever lost in provably unspendable OP_RETURN outputs. mainnet.observer/charts/output-…


There have been close to 1200000000 (1.2 billion) transactions on Bitcoin. mainnet.observer/charts/transac…


There are currently about 172M UTXOs. Here is the UTXO set composition by output type: mainnet.observer/charts/utxoset…
