Hi HN, This is a site where users can submit content and the shortest SHA256 value of nonce+content among them will make the site display the content. Very basic, without a blockchain. It's a static site with WebRTC and peer-to-peer. Why? I wanted r/place (Reddit canvas where users collaborate on a pixel grid), but with proof of work. This is my progress so far. It's a WebRTC app with peer to peer connectivity that forwards the best hashed values to other users, which verify them, display them and pass them on. There are many many improvements to be done (especially I should probably…

I know everyone is a bit burned out on blockchain and cryptocurrency related stuff around these parts, but I've been working on as a side project for the last few months and thought you guys might be interested: https://cryptoempire.io/ It's still a bit buggy and incomplete (the mobile ux needs a lot of work, the leaderboard isn't functional yet, etc.), but I've reached a point where I'm not totally ashamed of sharing it :) Any feedback would be most welcome!

I built this over the weekend. Any feedback is appreciated. Please note you will need a WebGL enabled browser. Thank you for checking it out. --UPDATE-- HN Traffic is strangling earthbit. There is sporadic downtime due to the web services I am using, if no transactions appear after a few seconds, then please try again in an hour.

Hi HN, blockchain3d.info (http://blockchain3d.info) is a free 3D and VR Bitcoin Blockchain browser available for Windows, Android (with Google Cardboard for Virtual Reality), Linux and MacOS. The tool lets you enter a starting address or transaction, then navigate the Bitcoin network as far as you like (or as your hardware will allow, performance wise) to see inflows and outflows, all in 3D (or VR with Cardboard). Would love to hear feedback from HN folks!

I wanted to explore the idea described in the tweet by Paul Sztorc that Bitcoin transactions can be art, so I created https://transactionbitmap.com which operates on the principle that art can be found in unexpected places, including the mathematical patterns and data inherent in blockchain transactions. Art is subjective, just like value is.
