January 11th 2015 Block Maker Statistics



Changelog:
  • In progress.

Errorlog:
  • Nil.

Notifications:
  • This is a work in progress, and will be continuously optimised (fiddled with). Feel free to comment - you might just see your suggestion appear.

0. The new block maker statistics start here
This post will contain statistics for all block makers based on block chain data, as opposed to the more general data contained in the network statistics posts, and the entirely pool data based pool statistics posts.

1. There's a lot more work to be done
I'm starting up development again, so get in with your requests before I finish my updates!



Solved block statistics table. This table lists all statistics that can be derived from the number of blocks a hashrate contributor has solved for the past week. Block attributions are either from primary sources such as those claimed by a particular pool website, or secondary sources such as coinbase signatures, or known generation addresses. When dependent on secondary sources only, data may be inaccurate and miss some blocks if a particular block-solver has gone to some trouble to hide solved blocks. This will result in an underestimate of the block-solver hashrate.

Note that actual pool hashrates when derived from shares submitted per unit time will be more accurate than the hashrate estimates given in this table.

"Unknown" is not an entity but the group of blocks to which I cannot give attribution using the methods given above. "BitAffNet" is Bitcoin Affiliate Network.

Although I update regularly, I don't correct old posts.


Reused but unknown generation addresses
Unknown generation addresses that are not reused are probably solominers or private mining concerns that don't have share-holders wanting to follow transactions. However, reused addresses are probably from hash contributors that do not wish to remain anonymous. These need to be identified so they can be removed from the "Unknown" group. I'm not interested in identifying those who wish to remain completely anonymous, so I'm not trying to trace originating IP addresses (as Blockchain.info does).

Block makers: stacked histogram percentage of network blocks
A visual representation of the "Percentage of network" data aggregated in the table.



Block makers: actual and cumulative percentage of network blocks
Another visualisation of the data in the table. The unshaded section indicates the largest block makers that control 50% of the network between them.



 



Comparison of transaction fee per block
Block makers that consistently perform better than average are attempting to earn as much from each block as possible, which probably means more transactions per block and a better functioning network.

Block makers that consistently earn less than average transactions per block are either including too many low priority (no fee) transactions or are trying to reduce their orphan rate by reducing the size of their blocks.





In progress:


##### Block makers:
### Hashrate distribution: top 10 block maker proportion of network
### Historical hashrate distribution heatmap: all block makers
### Centralisation visualisation
###  total tx fee per kb size,  by pool

I'm terrible at proofreading, so some of these posts may be worth quite a bit to the keen reader.
Exceptions:
  • Errors in text repeated across multiple posts: I will only pay for the most recent errors rather every single occurrence.
  • Errors in chart texts: Since I can't fix the chart texts (since I don't keep the data that generated them) I can't pay for them. Still, they would be nice to know about!
