BitcoinSilver Node Map

Real-time visualization of the BitcoinSilver network nodes on an interactive world map.

🌐 View Live Map

Features

• 🌍 Interactive world map showing all connected nodes
• 📍 Geolocation of each peer connection
• 📊 Network statistics (total nodes, countries, average ping)
• 🔄 Auto-refresh every 30 seconds
• 📱 Mobile responsive design
• 🔒 Secure architecture (no RPC credentials exposed)

How It Works

1. Frontend makes API request to secure backend
2. Backend queries Bitcoin RPC getpeerinfo
3. Geolocation data added using geoip-lite
4. Interactive map displays peer locations in real-time

API Endpoint

The map uses a backend API endpoint that returns peer information with geolocation:

GET /api/peers

Response:

{
  "peers": [
    {
      "addr": "1.2.3.4:5678",
      "country": "US",
      "countryCode": "US",
      "lat": 37.7749,
      "lon": -122.4194,
      "network": "ipv4",
      "subver": "/BitcoinSilver:1.0.0/",
      "pingtime": 0.123,
      "inbound": false
    }
  ],
  "count": 1
}
