working on kibo which is an open source Bitcoin Core data extractor and visualizer (aka foss glassnode)
Very close to releasing the v0.5 then will work on improving the self-hosting experience
One day, sure but for now you overestimate the number of people willing to spend even 1 sat for data or to see a chart, we aren't the norm, especially if I want to number of users to grow and adding a cost to it, no matter how small would kill it before it would do any good IMO + if its open source what prevents anyone else to run a free instance, if it's not open source, I'm no better than the competition
As long as I'll pick someone curiosity with this I'll be happy
Bitcoin is completely free and easily accessible, this is too for very similar reasons
But thank you for trying to help, I appreciate it very much !
The whole point is for it to be accessible to anyone, get people curious and interested, can't do that if you have to pay for the charts and even if I did, I wouldn't be that much more different than my competitors.
To be honest it's more an ideological project than a capitalist one
And iirc it's not that hard really, just annoying and not fun to do !
No, I didn't have the time to write anything really but you'll find everything I wrote in the readme:

Finding funding, otherwise just a constant grind to make it better, faster and lighter and hopefully one day make it runnable on a raspberry pi, but it's already pretty good, in a much better state than it was few months ago
Yes, completely on my own

Many try but they have no where near as many charts as kibō or glassnode have and/or aren't updated very often, even when with the paid version, whereas kibō is updated after every single block with only a 50 to 100 second delay and once again completely free even the API, no account no auth nothing
For now, I don't really have funding still trying to find sponsors or something, I'll hope to find a sustainable path otherwise I'll have to stop and I've been working on this full time for a year now so that'd be a shame

Oh my bad, I should definitely make it clearer what it is then
It's basically a tool to visualize a ton of data overtime from a bitcoin core node
You can see the famous hold wave, the number of addresses, which type are the most common, addresses by size, supply by age, sum of daily blocks, a lot of very interesting things and I've built it because Glassnode charges up to 833$/month for that and I strongly believe that this kind of data should be completely free for the good of the network

A better, FOSS, Bitcoin-only, self-hostable Glassnode previously named Satonomics
Thanks a lot for sharing ! Any help with spreading the word about this, is really appreciated. It's pretty hard to share things with other Bitcoiners
I'm here if anyone has any questions
My bad, it's not
ulimit -n 1000000
(but you probably still need that line, it's for the maximum number of files that can be opened at a time) but ulimit -s $(ulimit -Hs)
which increases the stack sizeSo basically the default stack size allowed is too small for all the different things that are needed in the program. (the structs tree is an absolute monster !)
If you open the run.sh there is a hack for that but I only enabled it for Mac OS as I didn't know how it would react on Linux.
What you can do is try
ulimit -n 1000000 && ./run.sh
(or just move the line inside the run.sh file) and see if it helps, otherwise don't hesitate to ping meThat’s great ! Good luck !
