I played with some blockchain visualisation a while back at:
http://vizor.enclaves.io/
happy to open source or contribute if useful.

This would be awesome - my $0.02 is that generally those "node visualizations" are really hard to us in reality. They could be really useful if they can be clicked into to get to something easier to understand.

If you start working on this we should try to get some data viz experts to weigh in!

Yeah I agree. They have to be designed to be traversable instead of just looking pretty.

Going to keep thinking about how to do this, will be kinda slow but this is super interesting.

   As an ethereum user, I want a gas guzzler explorer in gitcoin.co/gas, so I can explore the topology of the networks of gas explorers.

Wow, this is super interesting, I will begin by exploring existing links and similar kinds of features and then proceed to D3 and how to use network data and display this data in a network topology structure. I get the goal here is to get a visual understanding of gas consumers.

Learn more on the Gitcoin Issue Details page.

@aerophile looking forward to working with you.

Agree on the utility vs. prettiness aspect. Being able to easily manipulate a viz. and drill through to see more detailed info (or switch views to highlight different aspects of the data) would be very cool.

I will put my code up and a link here, hopefully this weekend.

I like this as a basic visual block explorer : http://ethviewer.live
Not sure of the overlap with this bounty... Some components might transfer well?

neat tool!

looks like the nodes in this graph are blocks. in our model, we'd want nodes to be accounts and edges to be transactions

So Update 1 from my side, I have been going through gitcoin's web repo and setting up the recommended docker version.
@NukeManDan While http://ethviewer.live is really cool but its code is not open sourced yet, so I don't think its components could be directly transferred.
@adamdossa Looking forward to your code 👍

@owocki Some questions

1. How would this new feature be accessed ? Will it be a new Tab/Section of the gitcoin gas station website
2. I'm also looking for suggestions for possible sources of the transaction data for an address. I think ETHsql is something related to this but googling it does not give many useful results, so a link to that could also be helpful. This would probably be an API, right ? Maybe INFURA could be used to get this data.

Will it be a new Tab/Section of the gitcoin gas station website
yes!

I'm also looking for suggestions for possible sources of the transaction data for an address.

etherscan pehraps? and you could mirror it in the gas.models as a new table for easy queryability.

infura could be a good source too.. though id want to check and see if they can handle the massive amounts of data that (by definnition) these gas guzzlers consume

So Updates
I had some difficulties in running the docker compose version of the build. The specific error I get when building in foreground is gitcoin web ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'eth_utils.toolz . I am still looking into this.

Meanwhile I also have been learning about d3's force directed graphs and have also nearly built a single web page which can display the graph based on an input address. I look forward to sharing a link to this in a day or two. The idea here is that by making this, it would make it easier once the issues mentioned above are resolved.

For getting transaction data, etherscan's API seemed most appropriate as they had an endpoint where one can get transaction data for an address in descending order of occurrence and also allows us to control the number of transactions that we want to get and show.

@aerophile I believe @SaptakS fixed this up! Could you rebase + restart the containers.
PR : #2123

yes this is fixed now @aerophile !

@thelostone-mc @owocki thanks, can confirm, its resolved.

Still working on this, Just got stuck with something. Should post the next update soon.

https://aleth.io/ just launched ... i wonder if we can leverage any of their tech for this

aleth.io definitely looks interesting. They do talk about transactions and accounts stats specifically as well but I don't think they are ready for use just yet. Most of their links lead to a signup to be notified when they are ready. I have signed up to be notified. It would be good if we can add them as an another source of transaction data as well.

edit: They also talk about pre-registering for API access and that's expected to be available in early 2019.

link to the single page app. Display of the force directed graph is not working properly at the moment But data is being correctly fetched and formatted into nodes and links for the graph. Next steps would be fixing this, adding flyouts+additional information and then start integrating with site.

ahh neat!

I'll be posting the next update on Friday.

@aerophile hows it going? is this still an active thing for you.. no worries if not; we can always cancel the bounty

@owocki Yes definitely active, just a bit behind. Will get back with the update

@owocki Yes definitely active, just a bit behind. Will get back with the update

Updating on this friday. Almost done with the Graph and flyouts.

Excited to see what comes of this @aerophile - something I just stumbled on:
https://www.meetup.com/ConsenSys-Ethereum-Meetup-San-Francisco/events/254627790

EthStats.io will be something to checkout - likely not as individual tacking oriented as what we are after in this issue. :) Cool implementation though!

https://vimeo.com/272871263

Hey @aerophile do you have an update on this?

Hey @aerophile any help you need from our side?

@aerophile can we assume that you discarded/abandoned this issue? If you still want to work on this, please reply within the next couple of days, else we'll return this topic back to the community!

Thanks!
Chris

This might be mostly what we are after here: https://ethstats.io/
But I have yet to explore the tool. Has anyone else used it yet?

@owocki @PixelantDesign your opinion about this?

i think we should probably close the bounty as it's not getting any action.. unless @aerophile you disagree

@owocki yes, unfortunately I have not been able to contribute to this project as much as I hoped to do so, I agree that it should be given back to others who can take it up.

@owocki do we still want to do this? since we have ethgasstation for this...
