Satoshi Nakamoto Market Sentiment

A real-time Bitcoin sentiment tracker visualizing market and network health via a digital Satoshi Nakamoto statue. Built as a single-page app in bitcoin.html, it fetches live data to display metrics like price, energy usage, difficulty, and market cap. Explanatory pages educate users, ideal for investors, miners, and blockchain enthusiasts.

Features

• Sentiment Visualization (updates every 60 seconds):
  • Bullish: Price change >0.5% (SpringBloom*.png).
  • Bearish: Price change <-0.5% (Fall*.png).
  • Neutral: -0.5% to +0.5% (NeutralMarket.jpg).
  • Need Energy: Blocks <130/day (WinterStorm.png).
  • Doom's Day: Difficulty >2.06e67 (DoomsDay.png).
  • Working too Hard: Energy >2% renewables (DrySummer.png).
  • Tooltips link to explanatory pages.
• Metrics:
  • Price (USD, CoinGecko).
  • 24-hour price change (%).
  • Market capitalization.
  • Daily energy usage (GWh/day).
  • Mining difficulty.
  • Dollars yield per kWh.
• Responsive UI: Tailwind CSS (CDN).
• Scalable: Supports miner automation.

Project Structure

• bitcoin.html: Core app (HTML, JS, ~10 KB).
• energy.html: Energy usage (~500 B).
• difficulty.html: Difficulty’s role (~1.2 KB).
• yield.html: Dollars per kWh (~800 B).
• marketcap.html: Market cap feedback (~2.5 KB).
• /images/: 12 sentiment visuals.

How It Works

bitcoin.html fetches data from CoinGecko (market), mempool.space (network), and Blockchair (blocks) to compute sentiment and metrics:

• Calculations:
  • Block reward: 3.125 BTC (2025) + ~0.7 BTC fees.
  • Energy: hashrate * efficiency / 1e15 * 24 (~374 GWh/day).
  • Dollars per kWh: (price * dailyBlocks * reward) / energy_kwh (~$0.16/kWh).
• Sentiment Logic:

  if (dailyBlocks < 130) return { sentiment: "Need Energy", image: "WinterStorm.png", tooltip: "Network strain: Low block production (<130/day, 9.8% below 144/day target) signals insufficient hashrate, requiring more energy to maintain stable coin minting." };
  if (difficulty > DOOMSDAY_DIFFICULTY) return { sentiment: "Doom's Day", image: "DoomsDay.png" };
  if (dailyEnergyKwh > RENEWABLES_ENERGY_MAX) return { sentiment: "Working too Hard", image: "DrySummer.png" };
  if (priceChange > 0.005) return { sentiment: "Bullish", image: `SpringBloom-${Math.min(priceChange * 100, 1).toFixed(1)}.png` };
  if (priceChange < -0.005) return { sentiment: "Bearish", image: `Fall-${Math.min(-priceChange * 100, 1).toFixed(1)}.png` };
  return { sentiment: "Neutral", image: "NeutralMarket.jpg" };

• Outputs: Updates statue image, tooltip, and metrics.

Setup Instructions

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/macroadster/howssatoshi.git

2. Open bitcoin.html in a browser (e.g., file:///path/to/howssatoshi/bitcoin.html).
3. APIs: Public, no authentication needed.
4. Customize: Edit bitcoin.html thresholds (e.g., HARD_DIFFICULTY_THRESHOLD).

Limitations

• dollarsPerKWatt omits fees (~0.7 BTC/block).
• mempool.space returns EH/s, needs ×10¹⁸ for H/s.
• Difficulty bound (2.06e67) is approximate.

Future Improvements

• Include transaction fees in dollarsPerKWatt.
• Dynamic difficulty threshold.
• Rig-specific efficiency for scaling.
• Charts for trends (e.g., blocks vs. energy).
