Edit: Is there a delay on reporting? MtRed found a new block 8 minutes ago but I haven't seen anything show up on BlockList yet.

Yes. I can't really scrape every website after a block is found - pool operators would get angry with me

Besides, pools like deepbit delay their stats....

It's just a collection of website scrapers it seems, nothing that pool hoppers didn't have a year ago too... nice work nevertheless but of limited usability (and cheating pool operators won't be pointed out by this).

It's limited usability for someone looking to hop with it. But it does give "accurate" accounting of which pool mined which block. Blockchain.info is normally pretty accurate, but it does occasionally misreport who mined a block. Back when we had the 1tx mystery miner, it was completely skewing the results because they would relay their blocks through other pools (mostly Eligius, but sometimes Deepbit/Slush/BTC Guild), skewing the stats for those pools.

Obviously there's always a chance of a pool claiming blocks that they didn't mine, though that shouldn't occur too frequently (why would a pool claim blocks somebody else mined?).

Pool hoppers rejoice!

If I may make one small suggestion, its to add percentages to the pie chart.

I've changed graph engine. Is this better?

I think so and Ozcoin being in green matches our site theme Grin

Well done

It is nice to see Deepbit <30%. Maybe someday DB will stabilize at ~25% and the top 3 combined will be <50%.

It would also be very interesting to see historical data and their trends, so you could see pools becoming more or less popular. So rather than a pie chart, you could show a line graph with one line per pool and show that pools % over time. Id love to see that.

That does seem to be very interesting to have. I'll look into it

Nice job, very useful site. Thank you for your work.

Hi,

Some time ago, I've created a site called blockorigin, to get a view on the pools that are mining blocks.
The site has information about the last 2 weeks of blocks: every block is labeled with the pool that generated the block.
I've also created a ranking of pools, and a nice pie chart so you can visualize the pools.

I've never created some kind of official announcement of this project, so here it is.

The website is at http://blockorigin.pfoe.be

I'd like to invite everybody to have a look, and please, if you know of any pools that are not visible on this website, inform me so I can add that pool. I'm currently still at 19% of unknown blocks, and would like to be as complete as possible.

Should any other features be interesting too, feel free to comment
