Yesterday, this post introduced a way to track the Bitcoin network's transactions per second. It's a super useful tool to see how many transactions Bitcoin is actually processing on the current day.
...but it was totally boring. I incorporated it into this super campy and scary tool (also forked from @supertestnet) for anybody that wants to really feel the drama of the moment.
I think you have the defcon levels backwards. Defcon-1 is nuclear war.

FIXED! So the scale is still 9-1 instead of 5-1 because I want to maintain the level of functionally of being able to learn about block time that @supertestnet originally put into the real tool, but I've reversed the defcon order to reflect the real "urgency" of situation.
Hopefully obviously, I don't mean for this to imply that the network is close to any real danger even at defcon one. I'm really trying to show how melodramatic that type of fud is. Hooray for the difficulty adjustment!

Oh wow! You’re totally right. I’ll see if I have a minute to fix this and try to do it by the end of the day.

That was quite dramatic and entertaining. How about caching the results for instant results? Or does that remove the anticipation?

I keep getting rate limited and, frankly, am not really a good enough programmer yet to figure out all the best practices to prevent it. Once I figure that out, I think that could happen.

This is interesting to see happen in real time.
