   It took a lot of work to get JS to its current speed. Here the incentive is that for the web to be fast, JS has to be fast. That incentive breaks on the server where you can use any language you want anyway.

   If you decide to offload some CPU heavy parts I would personally use a messaging protocol like zeroMQ to keep a loose coupling.

   The NSA behaves very hostile against everyone not from the US. As an EU resident I think it is very important to have an idea on the lines the NSA is crossing to protect US citizens that might put me at risk.

   It's more than that: a lot of people who made node.js to what it is are now working on io.js. It's more like a new version of node with a different name to circumvent trademark issues.

    Instead of sorting to verify[1] the tweet has indeed been correctly sorted it might be better to just check the first and last entry. As the dataset might be very large (the current 140 character imposted by Twitter limit is merely an imple

    Most node modules are simply js files that host js functions. You can install those by ftp'ing over the files. Modules with bindings are a different story though.

    The 10 minutes is only an average time at which the network can solve the problem with random tries. You won't see a lot of blocks 10 minutes apart because only when measured over longer timeframes it averages to 10 minutes. Just like

    You are right of course, a dice won't be estimated to roll on a 6 after it failed to do so 5 previous times. I think the best solution is to remove the expected next block time counter altogether. One of the reasons UX wise I went for

    I've now turned them orange, which improves the visibility a ton. Though I want to fix the lighting and color them based on variables instead of making them so plain as they are now.

    Ah I knew I could not be the first one to come up with this idea. Nice to see an alternative as well! I love the sounds you added. I like the fact that I provide all data for the website myself, though I'm not in a position to buy a lo

    I think they nicely represent my design skills. I'm all open for suggestions, what did you have in mind? In the next version I want to color them on transaction volume (combined with square sizes).

    Thanks! All transaction and block data is from Blockchain.info ( https://blockchain.info/api/api_websocket ) (you can also get that from the Bitcoin network itself pretty easily) and all geo location data (ip to geo) is

    On firefox I ran into the out_of_range error with the clear image used in WebKit browser. So on Gecko browsers I load a smaller image (which is a bit darker).
