Nice. So, any interesting ideas for the seconds pointer?

Yes. the seconds hand could be used for the current block

one way is to estimate the time needed for the next block from the last. ie 10 minutes for full 60 'seconds'

trying to think of a better way using the difficulty and estimate of next block found but I cant think of any...

yeah that wouldn't be accurate enough.

the second hand wouldn't hit 12 right when the next block is found Cheesy

It's all about the game, and how you play it

I deduct points for requiring client-side scripting. The idea is original enough and well implemented enough to be worth temporarily enabling JavaScript though.

IE is not universally bad, and some of us running 64 bit operating systems are waiting for the other browsers to catch up as far as that is concerned(although i do use chrome for some things i spend most of my time in IE9)

yeah even i wouldn't rate it A-

i'm no javascript guru, i just found a clock and tried to modify it to create the right angles.

no idea what to use the second hand for either, so that's why i disabled it

I disagree: it is more like an A-.

To do it server side, you would probably have a static image (or SVG) that is autorefreshed (server side) every 10 minutes or so.
