We’ve integrated the Patoshi Pattern data into BitRef’s Bitcoin Block Explorer.
Blocks identified by the Patoshi Pattern are now labeled Satoshi Nakamoto as the miner, making it easier to explore and analyze the blocks historically attributed to Satoshi.
We're excited to introduce a live global map of all reachable Bitcoin nodes (those with port 8333 open). The map is fully interactive, allowing you to zoom in and explore every individual node in detail. Link in the comments.
We’ve updated our Bitcoin node checker. It now shows live information on whether your node is currently accessible via port 8333. You can test if your node is actively listening. Additionally, we now display more detailed node data gathered by our crawler.
(BitRef) You can now click the 'spent' label on any transaction output to go directly to its spending transaction, making it easier to track coins in the Bitcoin blockchain.
(BitRef) Introducing our newest tool: Bitcoin Address Validator. It doesn't just validate Bitcoin addresses — it also shows exactly where the problem is.

There have been red flags surrounding @unstoppableweb for years. This case is just another one. Companies like this spoil the reputation of the entire crypto community.
