Marathon Digital explores the potential of “block art” by using its mining pool to craft the order of transactions in a block.
A Bitcoin Core contributor has immortalized Marathon Digital’s logo into the data visualization of a Bitcoin block by using the mining firm’s template building tools.
X user Portland.HODL laid claim to the intriguing piece of “block art”, a custom graphic crafted by ordering transactions in a block that can be then seen on Bitcoin indexer website. Blockchain indexers visualize bitcoin transactions using square blocks and color gradients based on transaction sizes and fee rates.
Marathon Digital shared details of block 836361 which it successfully mined on March 26. The firm dubbed it the M block and wanted the visualization to demonstrate its template building capabilities and technology stack.
